I can't figure out how to open this grater for cleaning. Can you help me?

Turn handle counterclockwise while holding the barrel on the other side. Mine was a little stuck the first time also, but as long as you don't tighten too much when putting it together it's fine. :)

I am sorry I can't help you with that. I only used it once and hated it. I gave it away.

Turn the handle counter-clockwise and it unscrews and the grater barrel comes out.

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!

I don't really know if it actually opens up, we just lift the handle and rinse ours out, we've never needed to open it, and we use it all the time! It cleans great!

I have this problem but I'm afraid I haven't used the grater as of yet. As far as the other pieces go I have had no issues with it moving while in use.

I use a butter knife and push it out from the top so I never have to touch the end that bites. Sometimes a vacuum is created, then I just run hot water over it for a few seconds.

I had trouble at first too .. I think there are clear stickers/tape that hold the top and bottom of the tray together that you need to remove before it will open easily. Look very closely and see if you can find and remove them and then try again!

Swivel the locking lever and pop it out. It's not hard to do. Take the old blade with you to the store as there is a bewildering selection.

Hi, it can be a little awkward to open. On the handle side (not the hinge side) under the handle there is a stand, the the handle which is longer has a lip ( Make sure you hold the handle at the tip), then pull the bottom, where the stand is away from the handle that juts out a little farther. Hope this helps

Try getting a smaller Phillips screwdriver to get it open, which you can find at any hardware store

The drawer opens from underneath the motor area. Grip underneath and pull it out.

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!

They should have sent you a tool with two metal tips that insert into holes on the cutting blade. Insert into the holes and turn to the left. You will need to hold the filter by the plastic edge to keep it from spinning. This will enable you to disassemble everything you need to clean. They should have also included a brush to clean the filter and cutting blade with. Careful, they are sharp little teeth. ha ha

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

You have to unscrew it like a top. Hold the top grooves with your hands and twist it off, hope this helps. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it is just now falling apart, need to buy a new one!!

There is a little white silicon button along the side on top. Pull back on it with your finger tip and it lets air into the container so you can open the lid.

Hold the bottom with one hand and the top with the other hand then turn the bottom or the top while holding the other part steady. Turn and pull apart at the same time. You have to pull and turn very hard. That removes the base then unscrew the glass container.

The top should turn and separate in the middle. I use a straight edge razor and pry the middle open.

I am unable to turn the knob to open and close the drain. Any advice? Thanks!!!
