Replacing the hood

• Remove the screws on the back panel holding the control panel in place. See
Figure 1.
• Remove the control panel by sliding it forward (towards the front of the
stove). This will be tight and a rubber mallet might be needed.
• Mark and disconnect the ribbon cable from the panel and set the panel to the side.
• Remove the side panels by removing the screw at the top.
• Remove the wrap from the front of the stove (two screws on each side,
inside the side panels). See Figure 1.
• Drill out the rivets holding the hood to the stove frame.
ƒ Three rivets near the back of the stove frame (under side profile). See
Figure 1.
ƒ Three rivets on the back panel. See Figure 1
ƒ Three rivets inside the hopper. See Figures 3 & 4.
ƒ One rivet under the hood (if applicable). See Figure 2.
• Remove the hood.
• Install new hood. If needed remove the louvers from the old hood and attach them to
the new hood.
• Using the rivets included in the kit, install the hood.
• Install the control panel, connecting the ribbon cable to the panel first. Be sure to
connect the ribbon cable in the same orientation as it can off.
• Install the screws on the back of the stove to anchor the control panel.
