2 x conical nipple (inside / outside; order no. 6016-0034)

1. Disconnect the unit from the mains.
2. Remove the conical nipple (A) from the outer housing side.
3. Remove the conical nipple (A) from the inner chamber side plate.
4. Remove the bottom of the inner chamber and the left inner chamber side plate
5. Remove the fixing disk (C) and pull the silicone access port (B) to the inside from the side plate.
6. Mount the new silicone access port.
Hint:
Slightly grease over the silicone access port (B), e.g. with Vaseline or silicone oil.
Fold the hose lengthwise to make it narrower, and fix the end, which is pushed through the side plate, e.g.
with a cable tie.
In order to have the inner chamber closed steam-tight, the silicone access port must
be completely pushed through the side plate.
The groove of the outer conical nipple must be enclosed by the outer housing panel
and the groove of the inner conical nipple must be enclosed by the inner chamber
side plate. The silicone access port must be cut in a way that they end even with the
inner and outer conical nipples, but not protrude.
