    • Use a plastic opening tool to push in the slot on the back panel while lifting.

    • We recommend to not use your fingers for this step because there is a chance they will be pinched.

    • You are now ready to lift the top off.

    • Place one hand near the back, the other at the front, and lift.

    • You may want to lift the front and back individually by pulling one a little off the part before the other. Afterwards, lifting the top off entirely will be easier.
