Tools

– Do we need a philips for cover? ( mine is open, and I am unsure where its screws currently are )
– 17mm key to remove the old thermostat
– Small flathead screw driver to mount the M4 nylon screw

– Optional for sensor mount at brew thermostat:
– 4 mm Allen/hex key to loose the brew group&boiler ensemble ( not needed if do steam thermostat )

Notes

These instructions do not support the difference between mounting steam or brew thermostat yet.

Steam position

AFAIK, this document describes the steam position o.k.

Brew position

AFAIK, something needs to be changed for step4, in which wire is meCoffee#4#grey fitted?

I think that is all that needs to be changed.

– remove brew thermostat, place sensor in its place. In case there is not enough room between boiler and machine case to properly mount the sensor, unmount and lean a bit the boiler.
Step 4 :
– meCoffee#5#grey goes into double-white from the brew thermostat.
