The S1 Cafe - Helping Your Espresso Dreams Become Reality

I've got an S1 V2 and recently tried - and failed - to remove a side panel. I DID experience the joy of dropping a thumbscrew into the innards - twice - so I've got that going for me, at least.

I searched Chas's manual and also this forum, but I didn't see any instructions.

In my attempt to take off the right panel, I removed 2 thumbscrews - 1 near the drip tray and 1 under the cup tray - and 2 screws from the bottom plate. Something still seems to be holding the panel on. What am I missing?

I ran into the same problem and then found another hidden thumb screw that was holding it on. Its pretty sneaky but once you find it you'll have a D'OH moment.

Yeah, that would be two under the warming tray, not one!

I'll take your word for it. And for others, I'll take a photo if I ever find it.

For the same reason you're having a hard time finding it, it's almost impossible to photograph.

However, see photo #3 on this page:

Thanks for the help Chas, and also for all the work you've put into this site. I didn't look at the S1 V1 photos because I thought the panel fastenings had been redesigned.

I was able to snap a photo to show the two screws under the cupwarmer Wow, the front one will be very easy to fumble.
