-
-
Remove all attachments: Coffee ground container, trester drawer, water tank and the coffee beans.
-
Pull off the flap above the water tank to the rear.

At the very bottom of the back is a hurdle: two oval head screws, they look like rivets. They can be unscrewed with a special tool. At iFixit, the Oval Drive Bit is part of tool collections, you can also get it at law dealers or find it on the Internet. The manufacturer wants to make it more difficult for us!
-
Unscrew the two oval head screws.

-
The side panel on the water tank side is still attached with two Torx T15 screws. Unscrew them.
-
The side panel with the switch is fixed at the bottom front with one Torx T15 screw. Unscrew it.
-
-
-
Push the two side panels back a bit and pull them out at the bottom, then you can remove them. Do not remove the side panel with the power switch completely yet.
-
Turn the power switch a little clockwise and remove it. Place the side panel aside
-
Lift the side panel on the water tank slightly upwards and pull it out at the bottom edge. You can then remove it and put it to one side.
-
It is a bit tricky to reinstall the side panel. Many bayonets have to be hooked in at the same time. It's easier if you push the water tank seal carrier up a little while you slide the side panel in. Then let it slide down.
