Carefully lift off the black steamer cover from the head of the machine, and slide it gently down the silicone tube.

Remove the end of the silicone tube from the top of the machine head. Do not lose the metal tube at the top of the silicone tube.

If the metal tube falls out, it can be pushed back into place in the silicone tube; the orientation of this tube will be important when re-assembling the machine.
