Hard to help without more info but usually they are screwed in from the to spots shown in the picture. If you cannot see any screws from the front there may be a face plate over the screws which can be remove with a thin putty knife or like type tool. Even if you can get to it from the front you need to access the vac pan from behind usually through a trap or open door inside cabinet above van pan or close by it. You will need to remove the attached PVC (grey) pipe attached to the pan from directly above it. There will also be to small wires attached to the top of the vac pan. Be careful not to rip them off when pulling pan out. Once pulled out away from base board a small way you will gain access to unscrew the wires that activate the vacuum. Then pull the pan the rest of the way out by lifting upwards on the bottom of the pan while pulling out away from base board. I hope this helps you. It is a very simple uninstall if you have access to the backside of where the pipe is attaching to the vac pan. If not you may need to seek a professional carpenter to hep you remove it. Best of luck.

This may be a little late but you need to make sure it's unhooked from the pipe. You may be able to reach in past it from the front and pop the PVC off by using a long screwdriver. Or if you can access it from below or behind, then do so. The pipe is hooked on from the top of the unit. Then it easily should slide out of the wall. Mine required a bit of a clockwise twist due to the wall prep. There should be enough extra low voltage wire that when you slide it out, just disconnect the two.

Alex, I am very sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We bought our sinks for a new home and we have not progressed to the point of installing bathroom fixtures and it a couple months away. I hope you find a solution and, if so, please post your findings. Good luck.

I really don't know, but I haven't needed to do that. I think you would just rinse them off with some gently soapy water.

Use a gallon of water in the sink with very small amount of Polly care. I had the same problem with sticking on the floor and footprints. Sweep or vacuum the hardwood first. Less is better in the water.

When you remove the top to be emptied they are stacked right there. There is a certain order they are stacked in so just remember which one you pulled out first, then put back the same way. You know you can wash these out in the sink just under running water & let dry. You can only do this for awhile because the filters will break down. Good Luck!

Every now and then I take my unit apart (remove screws from feet and slide out) and blow the dust from inside the cabinet. clean with damp cloth...allow to completely dry. reassemble. Do this only if cleaning the ceramic plates doesn't help. Make sure it's NOT PLUGGED IN. Be very careful. High voltage inside.

I'm not sure I know how to answer that, because I don't understand how they could get stuck. I've always stacked them in the kitchen cabinet. Did you just receive them, after purchasing them? If so, I'd contact Amazon and ask for a return label and replacement shipment. If you try to do something to get them free, you may not be able to return them.

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.

Just cleaned mine today. Just wash in soapy water, rinse, and dry. Be careful not to break them.

You can't really, they don't come out. I stuck mine in the dishwasher but after a while it started forming a black goo under the bottom so I threw it out and went with a different one.

Not sure as I don't have it any more but I thought I'd chime in that you can clean up the old marks. There may be some plumbers putty and dirt but a scotch pad, water, and scrubbing bubbles extend a clean should do. A scotch pad may hurt some delicate counters so you can substitute a rag and elbow grease. The holes will line up in 1 3/8" standard 4" on center counter/sink.

Never had that problem. Check what you are washing them with or your dishwasher soap.

I never saw them get that dirty, but you would certainly take off the dirty one and put it in the sink and use dish washing liquid with hot water. One of mine has gotten sun faded and I was considering that with scotch-brite or lite steel wool to sort of polish it back to see-through.

My wife actually got them apart. Try soaking them in hot, then cold water. Particularly cold (icy) water on the inside and very hot on the outside bowl. Be patient and repeat. Use a thin knife. Plastic or something flimsyer than the bowls, and work to pry them apart. Really have to be patient or you'll break them. Wife said she spent all day working on them. I think the detergent idea from the other poster is good too. That stuff is slippery and should loosen them up.

There was nothing said about dishwashers. They would be a tight fit. I believe a wipe off with a damp cloth would do the trick. Spraying with a cleaner would work, too.

I only use them for water and do not drink right out of them. I rinse them with warm water and refill and put in fridge until I want to carbonate them. About every fourth use I fill the sink with warm soapy water and wash them.

You can try buffing them with a very fine file in one direction from base to tip, then wipe them clean with an alcohol swab. Good Luck!
