Step 1:
  1. Remove cup tray and locate hot water mix valve.
Blending knobs on Legacy Steam Series machines may be slightly pitched towards the rear of the machine. If access from the top of the machine isn't feasible. Remove left side panel using a #2 Philips Screwdriver to access blending knob.


Step 2:

  2. With a flathead screwdriver:
    1. Hot Water - rotate clockwise.
