Introduction
These instructions show how to remove the back panel. First, the side panel on the water tank must be removed.
''These instructions can also be used with other Siemens/Bosch models - the models have a similar structure.
-
-
Remove all attachments such as water tank, pulp drawer, brew group.
-
Remove the coffee container lid and take out all the coffee beans.
-
-
-
Lay the machine on its side with the water tank side facing up.
-
The side panel is essentially held on the ground by five strong catches. Pry up the pegs with a strong prying tool. It's pretty difficult and you need a lot of strength.
-
If the catches are loose, you can pull the side panel away from below. But it's still stuck in other places.
-
Use a plastic tool to pry the top cover up a few millimeters and lift off the side panel. Most of the time it's still stuck, especially at the front edge, you have to pull hard.

-
You may need to pry the front edge with a plastic tool.
-
Lift the side panel off, but don't remove it completely yet. It is still connected with a silicone tube.
-
The water tank lid is located at the top of the side panel. Lift it up off the hinges.
-

-
Remove the cover over the electronics.

The second picture shows the most important components:
-
heater
-
Ceramic valve/Brew valve (depending on model)
-
electronics
-
pump
-
mute
-
flow meter
-

-
The rear panel is removed in a similar way to the side panel. To do this, lay the machine on its side with the floor facing you.
-
Use a powerful pry tool to loosen the three strong latches on the floor.
-
Put the machine back upright so the back is facing you
-
The back is locked in place like a bayonet with three locking lugs on the left. Lift the top up about 5mm and slide the back up about 5mm, it'll probably pinch a lot the first time. Then you can take them off.
-
Follow the steps in reversed order to reassemble your device
