Step 5
• Remove the 4 Torx T10 screws.
• The upper part of the right metal frame is secured by 2 partially hidden Torx T10 screws. You can reach the back one of the two through the opening in the right corner in the back. Loosen the screw in order to slide the metal frame slightly outwards.
• Remove the 2 screws holding the closing mechanism for the bean storage container.
• The screw at the front of the metal frame should now be within reach and you can remove the metal frame completely. This wasn't done this way here however.

Step 7
• In the next step, the carrier plate for the bean container will be removed. Do not remove it yet because a data cable still connects it to the sensor on the bean lid.
• The plate is secured with five Torx T10 screws. Remove those if you have not done so already.
• Lift the plate, but do not remove it entirely yet. The sensor for the bean compartment's lid has to be removed first.
