The oval head screws are on the back this time. Grasp the ribbed bezel and lift it a few millimeters upwards. Then pull it out at the bottom and lift it off.

Remove the four oval head screws.

The side panel near the water tank is still connected to two sensitive cables. If you want to remove the side panel to access the brewing unit, you must trace the cables to the two plugs on the circuit board, disconnect them, and thread the cables out.
