Hi ljilja12 - Usually this type of information is not release to someone who is not a technician and it is very rare to find enough information to do it yourself. Since this is a complex unit, typically this is something that you want a certified professional to install/repair for you to prevent any exposure to radiation, safety and liability reasons. Contact your manufacturer to provide you a listing of authorized technicians in your area whom may guide you through this process.
