    • Flip open the top panel to reveal water reservoir.

    • Grab the water reservoir by the handle and lift out.

    My model EC155, serial #43222 requires a Security Torx vs. a #2 Phillips to remove the 12mm screws at each corner of the bottom panel

    • Before flipping the device, removed the black container and grill.

    • Flip the device on its head, front end facing you.

    • Using the Phillips #2 unscrew the two 52 mm screws found underneath the top portion of the device.

    the tip about removing the black container and grill should be before step 2.

    • Grasp the lid firmly with both hands.

    • Pull mightily with both hands away from the device.

    • If you hear a slight snapping sound, it is supposed to do that.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to push in the slot on the back panel while lifting.

    • Similarly, reach into where the reservoir used to be and insert a plastic spudger underneath the inside panel.

    • We recommend to not use your fingers for this step because there is a chance they will be pinched.

    • You are now ready to lift the top off.

    • Place one hand near the back, the other at the front, and lift.

    • You may want to lift the front and back individually by pulling one a little off the part before the other. Afterwards, lifting the top off entirely will be easier.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
