Delonghi EC330S - how to open? :)

EN: In some point my coffee maker decide to rise some kind of work strike. It was something simple which will not bother you to read, but in case you wish to see how to open that device, here you go:

Take the steam valve knob. I use plastic craw bar kind of tool from set meant for car trim, but perhaps some screw driver will do the job

Remove the water tank and flip it upside down :

There, you`ll find that strange torx head bolts. Good news is that is most of the bit sets there are that kind.
Then you should take off the side screws:

That will help to remove the bottom.
Next in the list: Top side. Well, to take that one out should go for it from the bottom:

Then gentle, move the cover aside and if you wish take out the screw nut to release GND wire, or option two:

to remove the second one and in same time release two cables. That will help breaking apart the rest of it also.
All the rest bolts to be removed are:

Now take the buttons panel back and out. Or pull all the cable ends plugged in it. Your choice. And that will be the last step.
Good luck!
