    • The cover is secured with hooks along the back edge and clips along the front edge.

    • Firmly pull up the front edge of the larger, lower cover to release the clips.

    • You'll hear distinct "pops" as the clips disengage.

    • To reinstall the cover, place the hooks into their cutouts along the rear edge and firmly press the front edge of the cover into place to re‑engage the three clips.
