Step 10

Once the screws from the previous step are out, you will be able to grab the bottom half of the Brew Station and lift it up.
You will not be able to lift the bottom half all the way off because it is still connected by cords
Use one hand to lift up the bottom half of the Brew Station and use your other hand to unscrew the two 8-mm screws labeled in a red outline with a Phillips 2 Screwdriver.
The screws are in line with the position of the screws from the previous step, but they are lower.
Getting to the screws is difficult, so it may be useful to have someone help you. Also, the pictures show 2 different methods for getting to the screw (entering through the base or entering through the gap after lifting the Brew Station apart).

Edit

Step 11

Hold the base of the Brew Station with one hand and hold the front panel with the other.
Gently pull the front panel away from the rest of the unit until it pulls away completely and is only attached by the purple wire.

Edit

Step 12

Hold on to the front panel with one hand.
With your other hand, use the Philips 2 Screwdriver to unscrew the four 8-mm screws labeled in a red outline.
