      • Remove the two black wire twist caps, and unwind the different wires.

      • During reassembly, make sure the wires are strongly twisted together (twist clockwise) and the wire caps are firmly attached.

      • Avoid swapping the polarity during reassembly. The neutral (ridged) wire connects to the left motor wire and the white wire to the heater.

      • Remove two more 14 mm Phillips #2 screws attaching the white plastic holding the wall cord to the base.
