¶ Safety warning and machine state before starting operation
The glass is fragile, so handle it with care during removal and installation to prevent it from falling. If the glass is damaged, take precautions to avoid injuring your hands.
¶ Operation
For detailed instructions, please refer to the replacement video. The main steps are outlined below:
1. Remove the glass front door, screen, and glass cover plate.
2. Unscrew the 3 screws securing the front cover. Remove the 3 screws fixing the metal panel on the right side. Loosen the cables attached to the front cover, and then remove the front cover.
3. Remove the upper and lower hinges. When removing the lower hinge, use a wrench to slightly bend the edge of the vertical beam to expose the screw.
4. Install the upper and lower hinges.
5. To install the front cover, you may need to break off a portion of the right side panel for easier installation.
6. Install the glass front door and screen, then replace the glass cover plate.
¶ How to verify completion/success
