There a notches on the undersides of both the black plastic handle on each end of the crock pot. The band fits in those notches and goes over the top of the lid. Please note this is ONLY to be used for storage purposes an NOT when the crock pot is being used.

put the metal lid on top and then the plastic round ring goes over the top of that. It will stay very secure and tight.

Its a little tricky. You have to close the lid and flip it over. And there is a little tab you have to slide over. It helps if you have a pen or screw driver to put in the tab, to help slide it over.

I always have to have my husband do it. You just have to squeeze on the outside of the lid and it will snap back down. My hands aren't strong enough but he can get it closed.

Flip the bottom over and try to snap in. (could be upside down) I tried the first way too, looks like it should be the inside but it isn't. After turning it, it snaped in easy. (little pressure) then slide one side at a time and snap in place. The only complicated part to me was the lid, make sure to get the hindges in.

Just make sure the lid is placed correctly. It gets in place with just a couple of twists.

I'm holding the lid and not seeing a way that it would come apart. The lid appears to be made of 2 hard plastic pieces, one that twists inside the other and a soft rubber ring fits around the base and tightens the seal when the lid is turned.

You may have to push the button on the base & manually turn the base a little. or the lid holder.

turn the lid upside down and put your thumbs in the center circle, then pull the white part off using the two center hooks...battery compartment right underneath..

I press the "drink" button to release any pressure or vacuum inside the container. Then unscrew the lit counter clock wise. It goes on pretty tight so you have to use a little muscle, I know the first times I was worried about breaking it. Also important when putting the lid back on to make sure it is aligned so you do not cross thread it. Good luck.

I have the same problem. The rubber gasket on the lid expands causing it to jam up when you try to screw it on. unfortunately they don't just sell the replacement gaskets, you have to buy a new lid.I bought a replacement lid for mine and I rotate between the two and that helps. I'll use one lid for a couple weeks until it starts getting tight and then I'll switch to the other lid. This gives the rubber gasket on the lid not in use time to shrink back down to normal size.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

Just line up the 2 pieces of plastic on back of lid and wiggle and push it on. I take mine off too clean

I have to use a rubber jar opener to get a tight fit. I've also had to replace that lid a couple times. The rubber gasket gets loose. Good luck!

I agree with "fish man". It will hold the lid open, but you have to push down to close it.

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.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.
