Thought I'd post a quick update on this as it may help others, and also give an opportunity for others to make (gratefully received) comments/improvements on my method.
I completed a fluid change - there's no drain plug that I could locate on this machine, and not a great deal drained out when removing the filter. I managed to get a shallow bowl underneath to collect what did.
Completing the drainage was done using a large 200ml syringe, drawing the fluid from the filling chamber. I suspect the capacity is somewhat larger than the 2l bottle Etesia supply, but I drained out around 2L using this method, and refilled. I intend to do it again next year to further clean it.
some things I wasn't sure about - there's no real fill level indicator on the dipstick, just an adjustable slide that I assume is intended to allow monitoring to ensure that the oil level isn't dropping, so whether it's at the correct level or not I can't say for sure.
The machine is working well though, and is certainly slipping less. I've got some rust to deal with over the winter months!
