Start by taking off the handle bar with the side handles by removing the screws on the side of the product.

Next, seperate the handle bar from the side bars by unscrewing the screws on the inside of the handle bar.

Now, take the top cover off. It should come off automatically, as the screws that held the side handles also held the top off the panini iron. Then, we can take of the metal top cover, by bending the pieces of iron that keep it together.

After that, we can disconnect the wires and take the heat shield of the upper heating plate. The upper heating plate should be free now.

Now that the top is entirely dismantled, we can continue with the bottom. Turn the product around and remove all the screws from the bottom cover (this is where you'll need the Tamper Proof Spanner). The cover of the electronics will fall off automatically.

Next, the lower heating plate can be unscrewed. There are some wires attached that can be seen when lifting it up from the bottom cover.

From the heating plate, we are now able to unscrew the heat shields.

The last step is to take out the button and the covers of the neon indicator's. They are attached with snapfits, so can be pushed out.
