added safety the heating element cover can only slide out and cannot be
removed until the control panel is tilted. (See Figure 8.)

Gently pull up to remove the control panel/heater assembly. Use caution as oil
may splash out of the oil pan. Wipe control panel/heater assembly with a damp
cloth and dry completely. Handle the heating element and assembly with care.
