We have purchased a replacement diffuser, and cannot figure out how to remove the old one. The machine started leaking clear water instead of producing espresso. I replaced the coffee attachment, did not solve the problem, then ordered the diffuser, but can't figure it out. The manual I see here on this website is in Dutch? Can't figure out how to read it in English. Help needed! Thanks
