How to open container? I pulled the strip off all the way around but top won't come off.

It is a real pain, have to pull lid up one side at a time working your easy around.

Use a wide flat blade such as a painter's tool or stiff putty blade slipped under lid near a corner.. It is tight to keep ambient moisture from spoiling the unused content.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

I caught mine in time to peel it off. Maybe reheat it and try to get it off. Good Luck.

I have large hands and I found the only way I could get it off was to hold the base in my left hand and twist the cover with my right (takes a lot of strength, like you are opening a pickle jar, etc.) It took me several minutes, but it did come off. Sorry, that's probably not helpful, but maybe if you used a gripper (like you would use to open jars, etc.) to help hold it in place, it might help. I ended up returning mine b/c I had so many issues with it, least of which was the difficulty in getting it apart.

Pull the band (using its finger-hole) that circles the top of the container. It's a very difficult pull; I've had to have my husband do it for me, and he has often used tools to get it started.

Pull the rubber off completely. On the plastic there are three tabs pull the top on then do each side

There are 2 ways to empty it. There's a clip on the bottom you can open and empty and the top unlatches and twists off to empty as well. I prefer using the top approach.

Take off all of the spice dispensers and hold middle and while pressing down a little on the top cover turn it about about 1/8 turn left and it will lift right off. If your stacking it an not hanging it, don't imagine you would like to sell the hanging part, mine lost an hanging 'ear' and it hangs a little loose now?

You can't remove the top off once it's sealed. You have to pop-up the lid again to remove it. I have quite a few of these and haven't experienced the issue you mentioned with them.

once you are through, turn the top and lift off. the tab that slips into the unit has to be turned clockwise to disengage the lid. if you are having trouble getting the bowl off the unit, it does take a firm hand to turn it. after a few times it does loosen up.

The top attaches to the opener with a magnet. After opening simply grasp the lid and pull away from the magnet. If you stop the opener before it has gone completely around the can, the lid may not come away cleanly without a section remaining attached to the can.

Use the two little nibs at the bottom of the can opener (near where the opener itself is) to pinch the top edge of the can and lift off the lid.

I remove the top plastic, then set it gently back on, flip the tortilla over and remove the other plastic, which is now on top. Since the first side was already loosened, it comes back off again without tearing. Be sure you're not pressing them paper thin.The Imusa is pretty powerful. It can make them so thin that they're unmanageable.

Hi Connie My name is Tom, I'll be glad to help you. Just lift upwards about half way and pull out, it will come out. I have one identical to this unit for over 10 years and finnally replaced the entire can opener. Its a great little machine with a great price... Hope I've helped you! Remember "Jesus Loves You!

I had the same problem..will never buy it again. Had to cut the container with a knife to get it out.

Its totally OK! I was confused at first. You lift off the container and unscrew the round piece that protrudes from the container. Mine was screwed on really tight so it took a few tries before I got it off.

Take off the silicone covering. There is a square tab on each side & the top. Those click open (from bottom side I think) and this allows the shell to come apart.

I have been buying this product for years and have never had this issue like this one. Some one strong than yourself to open it :-)), or a rubber lid gripper you can find in most grocery stores. Good Luck, it's a great product!
