When replacing the electric unit, please note that there is a screw beside the motor, as indicated in Fig. A. This screw
should never be tightened any further. It is a safety screw to prevent children from removing the motor.
To remove the motor, turn the skim-filter so that it is easier to work. First completely loosen the screw (Fig. B) and then
remove the motor making a quarter turn towards the right, taking care to lift the flap (Fig. C) to correctly remove the motor.
To place the motor back in the skim-filter, the motor should first be inserted turning to the left and then tightening the
screw back to its original position.
