If you have loaded the filament, unload it from the hotend. On the screen, navigate to Filament -> Unload Filament.
Remove the filament from the hotend. It is is necessary to completely remove it from the printer.
WARNING: The hotend and heatbed are very HOT. Do not touch these parts!!!
Move the Z-axis down. On the screen, navigate to Control -> Move axis -> Move Z.
Cool down the printer. On the screen, navigate to Preheat -> Cooldown.
Wait until the hot parts are cooled down to ambient temperature. It takes approximately 10 minutes.

PLEASE! Add information on best Z height.  Adding the cable cover for the PSU wires in step 4 was more challenging because of the Z height I had.  I don't know if its easier mid-height or all the way down, but 100 mm from bottom is NOT a good height!

I'm just setting out on this upgrade. Glad I saw this comment. Reading ahead, it looks like you'll want to drop the z axis down as far as it goes (318 mm).
