The entire unit would have to be removed. The hinges should snap loose to remove the door, plumbing would have to be taken apart inside (usually these would be flare fittings and copper tubing, removing the flares should be relatively easy), and then unscrewing the through screws around the outer edge of the heater. It should be mounted with putty tape so it might take a little effort to break it loose. Use aputty knife or thin scraper around the outer edge to unseal the putty. Once the putty is loose, it should slide right out.
