Joe, the Universal's face plate isn't hinged. It has a screw 1 1/4" from the top. It came off okay, not easily, but it won't go back on straight. Even McGyver Jr (my son) couldn't get it. I will leave it until he comes again. The power was out when he was here and his wife and daughter were freezing so he didn't have much time. It just aggravates me because it's such a pretty machine. I didn't notice the tray under yours - what a neat idea. Good luck.
