Step 7
• The right side panel is removed in the same way, but the service hatch is a bit obstructive. Open it first and push the side panel back a few millimeters. This is often difficult and you will need a plastic lever tool.
• Close the flap again and push the sides further back. It is a bit tricky and you have to work carefully. Lift out the side panel.

Step 10 DeLonghi ETAM series control panel removal
• The control panel is locked very tightly with four catches on the front. It is tricky to release these latches and you need quite a lot of force.
• First loosen the detent on the edge. Use a thin flat-blade screwdriver to drive under the latch from behind. Insert a strong plastic lever tool into the gap between the control panel and the front. The latch opens with a loud crack.
• Now you can open the other latches with the lever tool
• Do not remove the control panel completely yet, it is still connected with cables.

Step 11
• Lift up the control panel a little. Press the latch on the white plug and pull off the plug.
• Unthread the ribbon cable that leads to the control electronics at the back as far as possible. This will make it longer and you can place the control panel on its side.
• If you want to remove the control panel completely, you have to take off the cover on the control electronics and disconnect the connector. Then you can unthread the cable completely.
