Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Removing the Console—Method A
The new sleek contoured design of the User Interface makes
access of the console a bit of a challenge. Since the console is
recessed into the top panel (see Figure 1), the usual method
of sliding a tool under the console to release the clips can be a
bit tricky.

as shown in Figure 2 so that it can be maneuvered around the
screw, which is placed directly in front of the release clips.
