These instructions work to both the Bezzera Crema DE and PM (show below) versions.
Power off your machine and unplug it from the outlet. Remove the water tank.
Behind the drip tray are the machine labels where you can find the serial number of your machine.
The front top panel is not held in with screws. You can insert a screwdriver into one of the holes to wedge it out.
The plate underneath is held in with 2 Allen key screws.
This will give you access to the steam valves, grouphead, and semi-auto button.
Underneath the machine, there is a black box screwed in with Philips head screws.
This will give you access to the heating element and the safety thermostat.
To remove the body, there are 4 other Philips head screws. The side panels are hooked in near the upper front corner. Once removed the whole body should slide down. Slightly bend out the side panels to unhook them and then slide the whole body out the back.
Once the body is removed, you will have side access to the inside. On the left, you can access the vibration pump.
On the right side, you can access the PID controls.
To remove the inside back panel, there are 2 Allen key screws near the bottom. There are also various wires and tubes connect on the other side of the panel. Most have enough slack to allow you to move the panel out of the way except for the PID controls. These are mounted to the panel with 1 Allen key screw near the top.
This will give you easier access to the top of the boiler.
