How do you get the top/roller ball top off to clean and refill or reuse?

The total white top pulls off. Clean with baking soda water rinse in vinegar water. Let air dry. The Baking soda breaks down the oil residue in the bottle, the vinegar sterilizes the bottle and the roller. Are you aware not to use hot oils with the plastic rollers. Hot oils are citrus oils or blends.

The vacuum on the top when you first get them can be really strong. Try using a butter knife and wiggling it between the top and the rubber seal. After you wash it and replace the seal, you won't have the problem again.

You twist off the top and fill it up from there. I generally fill it up every time I use it.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

A brush or a roller worked for me. I used a brush I could just throw away afterward.

Just push up on the plastic cover and remove. Lift out ink roller and put in new roller.

just remove the top fan section and refill the holding tank daily. Empty and clean the holding tank weekly.

If the top stop is a small metal clip, then it can be pried apart with a small screwdriver and clamped back after with a pair of needle nose pliers. If the top stop is a molded nylon stop, then use a file or a pair of diagonal cutters to get rid of the little nubs that prevent the slider from coming off. After, use a small knife to cut a little groove on the side of the top stop and then use needle and thread to wrap a few lines around the stop. This will serve the same function as the removed nubs. Follow with a drop of Krazy Glue on the thread to harden it.

Use tape or a lint roller. I Don't like cleaning with acetone because I think it eats away the rubber.

The clear top comes off and the re-fill is on the bottom of it, just screw the lid off and fill it up. I would not recommend this unless you are going to use it in a VERY small room.

I just prop mine up on my desk at an angle and take a table knife and slip the side of the blade under the lip of the plastic roller that needs to pop out of the rim of the top of the bottle and pry up just alittle and the roller will pop right out of the top. After refilling the bottle just set the roller on top of bottle and push in and ready to go.

Twist the top half about 1/4 turn until it comes out. I always empty the water as soon as I finish to make sure it is fresh to work the next time

If the entire sheet is in among the rollers you will need professional help to get it out. When I had part of a insulating sleeve partially caught in it I took off the upper heat shield over the rollers and ran it in reverse and used a very dull butter knife to dig/pry it out. Ideally I would not recommend this as there is a possibility of damaging the rollers and or being electrocuted (the knife I used was all metal without a insulating handle). I was lucky to get it all out otherwise I would have had to replace the laminator (Like too many things these days that would have been cheaper than paying to fix it).

Take the tray out of the bottom and turn the printer on it's front side. Use some rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean the rubber paper pickup in the middle. Problem solved--for awhile.

I know of no other way to clean the top well. The CermaBryte along with the scrubber and scraper works well. Occasionally I can use the scraper but that is rare. Also, you might try dish washing soap and the scrubber. Good luck!

The tip became permanently glued on after a few uses, so I just unscrew the whole top part and apply glue with a toothpick. It's much easier to control that way anyhow. And it doesn't seem to be drying out.
