Instructions

1. Remove the single screw securing the top access panel to the cabinet
top
2. Lift the front lip of the top access panel several inches. The front of the
panel is where the user interface is located and the same side the
screw was removed from in step 1.
3. With the front of the top access panel elevated, slide the panel toward
the rear of the unit until the tabs holding the rear side down are disengaged from the cabinet top.
4. Carefully lift the top access panel free of the unit, ensuring excess
tension is not placed on the ribbon cable attached to the ignition control board inside the heater cabinet, and rotate it 180 degrees so that
the user interface is now on the opposite side of the heater.
5. Secure the top access panel to the heater in the new orientation by
installing the screw removed in Step 1 in the new location
