3. Step 3
  Behind the Jura sign are two screws with an oval head. They have to be removed.
  
  These screws have an oval head that makes them look like rivets (picture 2). You need to use a special bit for their removal. If the right bit is not available, it could be done with a pair of needle nose pliers. Jura wants to keep us out of our own machines!!!!

  This step shows how to remove the top cover
  
  Remove the powder tray and all coffee beans.
  
  The cover is fastened with three Torx T15 screws. Those are easily visible under the covers as well as the small cover on the left back side.
  
  Remove the two Phillips screws on the bean container and remove the bean container.
  
  Lift the cover upwards.
  
  If it is stuck, use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry it open.
  
  The lid of the bean container is held in place by a small, strong magnet that loosely rests. It is either in the green marked recess, or it remains hanging on the bean container. Make sure it is not lost!

  The ceramic valve is only pushed in. Release the detents at the bottom of the white plastic base and slide the valve to the right.
  
  Lift out the valve.
  
  Disconnect all connections and remove the valve.
  
  If the valve is only to be removed to access other parts, you can leave the connectors on.
