Lay the machine on its side with the water tank side facing up.
The side panel is essentially held on the ground by five strong catches. Pry up the pegs with a strong prying tool. It's pretty difficult and you need a lot of strength.
If the catches are loose, you can pull the side panel away from below. But it's still stuck in other places.
Use a plastic tool to pry the top cover up a few millimeters and lift off the side panel. Most of the time it's still stuck, especially at the front edge, you have to pull hard.
