space centered against the rear wall.(Figures: 1,3&16)

Step 2: With the magnetic Thermodisc and
Variable Speed control connected together,

side of rebox. (Figure: 3,4,5 & 15)
The silver disc of the Thermodisc must be

vent space (Figure: 6) or on the front of the
center control panel (Figure: 5).

is clean. Remove the clear backing of velcro
