Upper Control Panel Access

Remove Control Panel

1. Grasp the light panel cover at the rear, where it is

hinged to the control panel. Lift upward at the rear,
just far enough to insert a small, thin bladed screw-
driver between the end cap and the fluorescent light
cover. Be sure to wrap the blade of the screwdriver
with tape to avoid scarring the plastic shield. Slide
the blade forward toward the front while lifting up the
cover.

2. Remove screws (A) and (B) that secure the endcaps

to the control console. Be careful when removing the
endcap not to break the locating tab at the bottom of
the endcap.

3. Loosen screw C 2 turns. This screw is just long

enough that it will protrude into a slot in the side
frame, causing the panel to bind as you slide it down
and forward. Loosening the screw a couple of turns
will back it off enough that it will no longer protrude
into the side frame slot.

4. Grasp the face panel at the bottom front with one

hand, while gently pushing down on the top of the
control panel with your other hand. Pull control panel
downward to release it from the vent deflector while
at the same time pulling the panel forward from the
bottom.

Remove Capacitive Touchpad

1. Remove 2 screws at each end of the control panel.

2. Carefully separate the control panel from the

touchpad to avoid damaging the seal strips above
and below the touchpad.

NOTE: On the circuit board behind the control panel is a
circuit jumper that may fall off during disassembly. When
reconnecting the jumper, be sure to position it on the left
and center pins. Incorrect assembly of the circuit
jumper will result in ECP failure.
