How to do you get the stupid lid off this thing!!! Took my husband forever to put together &amp; now we cannot figure out how to open it.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

I did most of the things others had to get ours open, but the needlle-nosed pliers worked for us. The important part is the putting it away. We used several layers of waxed paper underthe little depressed sealing lid. You still can turn the screw-on lid down on it (just not as far as you would have) and it gives you just enough lip to use the pliers more easily next time.

So sorry but we don't have the instructions... Did you look online? All I can say is that it took me and my husband over 10 hours to put it together!...:) enjoy

I'm sorry, I can't help! My son put it together and if I remember correctly, it was a pain. Good luck!

I had the same problem. It has to do with the lid being secure and the latches in the proper position. Try taking the lid off and putting it back on then secure the latches as close to the front of the unit as possible. Takes a few times to get the hang of how to secure the latches. Cheers, Jeff.

Sorry...I just go this late. Lift the handle (it cant be locked in the base) and the lid releases. You also need to match it back up on the side with the arrow from the top of the lid...I believe its white arrow and needs to match up to the bottom piece. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

Just give the lid a little twist and then lift. Or push on one side w/ thumb until it pops the pressure a little. Easy, peesy. It is a Great Product.

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.

Push the button on top and remove the lid. You should be able to pull the collector right up out of there.

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!

Lift the lid handle up and then pull STRAIGHT up. You need to hold onto the handle of the blender w/one hand and pull the lid off w/the other, once you figure it out, it won't be difficult. I was rocking it off, which is hard to do, but my husband showed me how to just pull it off and voila! It's just that first time, lol!

If I remember correctly it's locked with the little silver bit on the front of the lid. Pull that bit out til the edge is flush with the rest of the lid. Hope it works/helps!

Try using one of those rubber jar lid openers. It is hard to get the hang of it. It really does work! Good luck.

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.

I was struggling too. And then my boyfriend just banged it on, it just pushes on in two places. I thought it might break, but it didn't. He used his body weight and just pushed down really hard. It works very well and looks nice, I like it. But yeah, you have to sort of have to give a big push to get the lid to snap on in the first place.

I just saw this question and I'm sure you must have it on by now but wanted to answer for others out there...I had a difficult time as well bc there's only a picture for instruction. But, I had also ordered a second small basket that came with its lid on so I looked at how that was on (just like the picture instruction) and realized I needed to use FORCE to snap it in. That's all it needed to go right on.
