How do I take the silver strainer out to clean it. I have the Power Juicer

It took me a while to get that out too. I had to pry it out with the flat end of a spoon the first time. Now I just pull it straight up and it comes out every time.

I misplaced the handle looking thing that came with the product and I need to take the silver strainer out. where can I buy one

You have to use the handle looking thing that came with it. It has 2 silver knobs on each end. Stick the knobs in the 2 holes in the strainer and turn to loosen. Then tighten the same way after it's clean.

Hold the grater with the word "zyliss" facing you. Put your right thumb inside the right open cylinder and press against the back to keep it from turning. With your left hand, turn the crank away from you. The crank will completely screw off and you can remove the cylinder. Then you can wash everything (I prefer hand washing it in warm soapy water) and when it's completely dry put the cylinder back in and screw on the crank by turning it toward you. Hope that helps!

Clean up is simple, easy and takes less than five minutes. Just pop off the attachments, rinse, place in soap and water, drain and they are ready for the next juicing.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

It's easy to clean just as long as you use the enclosed brush to remove the pulp from the strainer. Otherwise the pulp can be difficult to remove especially if it starts drying. They also recommend putting a plastic grocery bag in the pulp collector so you can just lift out the bag and toss out the residue pulp.

check the locking system. Disassemble it and check for pieces of food which may have dried on the edges and interfere with the juicer to be locked tight together also check for the rubber pieces under the legs.

Just open up the lid then remove strainer, which is smaller than the led. Strainer freely seats

Mary Lou, we purchased one of these units. Appears to be more powerful than most. Top section that is actually does the juicing comes aprt and can go into the dishwasher if needed, only two or three pieces. The base with the spout, I think is attached to the power unit and I would not recommend putting the electrical power unit in a dishwasher, it would probably ruin the electrical components. I will look at it closer tonight to see if the spout base comes off the unit

I highly recommend use of the paper filters in the Acme 550 Juicerator. If not used, the tiny holes in the spinner will become clogged. This part is extremely hard to clean if the paper filters are not used.

I think it is easy to clean. The most important thing is to clean the metal "blade" soon after juicing while everything is still moist. Although, when I'm in a hurry, I have left for later cleaning and I just put the blade/basket in water and soak it until I can finish the job. A brush is provided and I do use it.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

Pour some boiling water through the squeezer into the sink drain and wipe the inside of the squeezer with a paper towel.-William F.

You simply pull the clean soap dispenser off, then remove th elower chamber that has the dirty water, open the screw off lid, and wash it out. its pretty simple. I use mine a few times a month, saves me dragging the big cleaner out

I just peel the outside of the ginger root to get out the "meat" of the ginger. A knife should do the trick! It doesn't have to be perfect though. The juicer is pretty hearty.

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

I think you should send a request, too. I also asked if the manual and booklet were posted online somewhere - that would be faster than mail. I was able to juice some carrots, celery, cucumber, and romaine but don't know how to disassemble to clean. Very aggravating.
