Element Protection Tube Option Replacement Procedure
Ensure the furnace is cold and isolated from the electrical connection.
On the underside of the front cowl is a stainless steel mesh, which should be removed
for access to the underside of the furnace.
You will see three crescent shaped stainless steel brackets which will support the
protection tube once in place; these should be removed by loosening the two screws
that hold each of them in place. Care should be taken as insulation may fall if
unsupported during the removal of the sections.
Once the insulation sections have been removed, pass the tube up through the hole in
the bottom of the furnace and locate within the recess of the furnace roof.
Once correctly located, re-fit the insulation sections and the corresponding brackets.
Re-fit the stainless steel mesh guard to the underside of the furnace.
