If the grilles break, replacement is a simple task. The grilles are attached to the body using plastic clips.

Obtain original replacement parts. To remove the broken grilles, press on the plastic clips by inserting a small tool or piece of wood into each clip to prevent it from closing.

While applying pressure on all the clips simultaneously, pull the damaged grille outward. After cleaning, position the new grille in its slot and gently push it into place.

The closing of all clips indicates proper positioning and correct installation.
