Step 1

              Setup and removal of the external parts
  • Before proceeding to the disassembly remove the coffee filter(marked in green) and the steam knob( marked in light blue): pulling up with a (lot) of force and confidence.
  • Unplug the machine from the outlet and moving it on a surface with different towels laying on it: the water inside the tubes will be lost during the disassembly.

              Removing the bottom part
  • [back view] Once you remove the clear water tank, you can unscrew the two bottom screws (marked in green) and the two upper screws(marked in red) that will allow us to remove the metallic upper lid later on.
  • [bottom view] unscrew the 4 hexagonal screaws (marked in light blue) and the two Philips head screws (marked in green) at the base.
  • Once you removed the black bottom part, you can now remove the plastic tube that brings water from the tank to the heating element. Pull the tubes with strength and confidence (marked in blue)
