You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

The lid does not close at any position. I waste my money with these product!!!

Push it down in the hole towards the top of the lid and then pull it out. To replace it, lay the new one it and slowly work it into the area between the top part of the lid and the middle area.

if you look carefully on the side of battery slot you have a plastic cover that you can open.Open that and take the line through that and close the lid!hope it helps you!

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

It is a screw-off lid but is very difficult the first time. I used an "ice pick" and put it through the slots and it helped me free the bond and unscrew the top. You can use a screwdriver or any kitchen tool (spoon?) that can fit through the slot. After that first time, it is easier to work.

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

The lid is "keyed" so that it will lock into place. The key to removing the lid is turning it to line up the tabs on the lid with the blank spaces on the lip of the barrel. Perhaps put a mark on the barrel and one on the lid then line these up each time.

Take the green lid in both hands. Put your fingers on the green button on the top of the lid and flip it over. Grasp the center round by the two tabs, press and pull. The two lids will separate. After you replace your batteries.. put the white section back on, paying attention to the little arrows in the center that line up. Snap it back in, and spin away.

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

hmmm... unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction. It does get a bit sticky if it has been the 'bottom' on rotation. BTW I'm certain you slid the unlock off that is located on the lid area... Mike

Ease of removing the lid is my only complaint. The key is lining up and removing one side at a time as they don't line up together. With the marks lined up on one side, lift the lid at that side. While holding the end up, rotate it slightly more so that the marks on the other side line up. When they do, the lid will pop up if you're still giving it upward force.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. You turn the lower black plastic part to the left to take off the lid. You pop off the top part to exchange the screens (know that they only fit one way so be careful).

No, you can't. Let us know if you find a good alternative. Annoyed with these lids!

Open the lid, and at the base of the lid where it connects to the body, there's a small metal bar that is slid into a locked position in the body. While the lid is upright, gently guide the bar up, over, and past the little lock, and pull up. It should come right out.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

There is a clip at the back of the lid. Press down and lift the lid and it comes odd. Do the reverse to put lid back on.
