Installing a drain plug on DE1 v1 drip tray
v1 ceramic drip trays are sold with a drain hole, and without a hole.
You can save money by buying just the version with a hole, and plugging it with the parts we provide. Then, when you want it to drain, remove the plug.
This video shows how.
Steps:
- insert the silicone washer to screw
- put the screw into the drip tray (front side)
- insert the silicone washer to drip tray (back side)
- tightening the nut by hand or tools until the nut is going flat to the bottom thread of the screw
- warning: over-tightening might damage the silicone washer
