How do I access the microswitch?

I have revision 4 of the NuWave Brio 37001 is a 6-Quart Air Fryer. I can't seem to get the top half off so that I can access the microswitch at the left. I have it part way disassembled. but can't figure out how to get it apart at the seem roughly half way up the machine. There is a strip around the outside there.
