Extensive measurements spanning multiple days have shown your meCoffee heating up to around 60 degrees Celcius in this position during normal use. This is well below the ratings of the quality components we have selected: there is no need to move the meCoffee to another position.
Turn your machine off and disconnect it from the mains / wall-socket.
The meCoffee has been designed to allow airflow over the switching elements. Please do not cover the vents.
For easier access we recommend removing the steam dial temporarily: just pull it off gently.
Remove the sensor cable from your meCoffee and route it below the power button & associated cabling towards the right. Reconnect the sensor cable to your meCoffee.
Now slide your meCoffee below the power button gently.
Check if all cabling and connectors are well below the surface of the cover.
Reinstall the steam dial.
Reinstall the cover.
