The steps to remove the Siemens ER gas hob panel are as follows:
1.Disconnect the gas source: Before you start dismantling, first make sure that the gas source has been disconnected. Locate the gas valve and turn it off. This is done to prevent the risk of gas leakage during the dismantling process.
2.Remove the burner parts: Remove the knobs and other controls from the cooktop, and generally remove the set screws on the knobs first. Next, lift the burner part off the cooktop and remove it.
3.To remove the panel set screws: Locate the set screws on the back of the panel and use a screwdriver to remove them one by one. These screws are often hidden on the edge of the cooktop or under the panel and need to be looked for carefully.
4.Detach the panel connection wires: Before disassembling the panel, you need to separate the wires or electronic cables connected to the panel. Be sure to handle with care to avoid damaging the wires or connectors.
5.Remove the panel: When all the set screws and connecting wires have been removed, the panel can be gently lifted and removed from the cooktop. Note that the panel may be heavy and requires both hands to operate.
6.Inspect and save parts: During the disassembly process, be sure to check for any damaged or missing parts. Store the disassembled parts for future reinstallation or repairs.
