    • Lay the machine on its side with the water tank side facing up.

    • The side panel is essentially held on the ground by five strong catches. Pry up the pegs with a strong prying tool. It's pretty difficult and you need a lot of strength.

    • If the catches are loose, you can pull the side panel away from below. But it's still stuck in other places.

    • Use a plastic tool to pry the top cover up a few millimeters and lift off the side panel. Most of the time it's still stuck, especially at the front edge, you have to pull hard.

    • Carefully disassemble the valve into two parts.

    • Take out the ceramic discs very carefully. If they fall, they may break!

    • Slide the slices apart. Clean and descale them.

    • The discs can only be reinstalled in one way. Pay attention to the narrow and wide grooves. The smooth sides must face the larger and moveable middle disk.

    • Carefully detach and clean the two black rubber seals. Note how they are installed.

    • Blow into all canals and check that they are clear.

    • If the valve does not find a position, one or both microswitches are defective. Then you have to exchange them. These are easily available standard types from SAIA, the type designation is printed on them.
