Replace the front cover

Replace the DryStar 5300's front cover (spare part CM+343346.X) with a crosshead screwdriver in about 30 minutes: open the Top cover, free four screws, lift the cover away, then reverse the sequence — the front cover has to come off first because the right side cover, left side cover, and Top cover module procedures in this same chapter all depend on it.
