1.Obtain the VCS-2D-HP knob and Decora-style insert in the desired color from your Niles dealer.

2.Holding the VCS-2D-HP control as shown in (Figure 1), make sure that the knob is turned completely counter- clockwise, to the off position. Note the current position of the knob; this will ensure that you install the new knob in the same position as the old one. Next, using a 5/64” allen wrench/driver, locate the two set screws on the side of the knob and carefully loosen both screws until the knob may be removed. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws from the knob.

3.Next, holding the control as shown in (Figure 2), locate the two plastic mounting tabs at the top rear of the Decora- style insert. Using two fingers, simultaneously press both tabs down (towards the center of the insert) and forward (away from you) until the insert pops free from its mount- ing slots.

4.Locate the new Decora-style insert. Hold the control so that it is facing you. Insert the two bottom tabs into the bottom slots first, followed by the two tabs on the top. Snap the insert into place by carefully pressing on the front of the insert.

5.Locate the new knob. Place the new knob onto the shaft and align it to the same position as the old one. Secure the knob to the shaft by tightening the two set screws on the side of the knob. Holding the VCS-2D-HP as shown in (Figure 1), check the alignment of the knob by turning it through all positions.
