  • Remove nine 12mm Phillips screws from the upper back panel.
  • Remove three 12mm Phillips screws inset under the back panel.
  • As soon as the screws are removed, the panel will fall freely.
  • When replacing the twelve 12mm Phillips screws, do not tighten the fasteners until all twelve screws have been loosely fitted back onto the cooler. This will ensure the flimsy metal casing will not warp.
