I can't figure out how to unscrew the base/screen from the plunger. I can only unscrew the small round knob from the top. Please help!

It is difficult to unscrew it but keep trying. I actually had to take a plyers and gently hold on to the post and hold onto the base with a towel so it doesn't slip and then turn it. I found that after I got it unscrewed the first time it seems to come apart much easier now. Good luck.

the unit has 4 parts on the bottom. a bottom metal grid/screen/grid with a coil, female to female coupler/ to the rod. twisting the bottom metal grid counter clock wise will unscrew the whole unit apart.

I found that my unit unscrewed with very little effort on my part. See the helpful suggestions of other reviewers if your press is giving you trouble.

Just twist the whole screen assembly counter clockwise. Either hold it carefully or work over a safe surface because the assembly will fall off quickly.

Stuck Knob Solution here! Hello, I had the same problem and found the perfect solution online (for just $2.99): In order to fix this problem you just need a larger knob which provides the extra leverage needed to (effortlessly) turn the knob. The original knob should come off easily by wiggling and pulling at the same time. The knob is attached to a 1/4'' shaft so any larger knob that fits a 1/4'' shaft will do fine. I used one from radio shack (Model: 274-407), which was 1/4'' shaft and it also contained a micro screw that you can tighten to ensure a snug fit. This knob slightly covers the labels (ALT,VS IAS, etc) but because these values show up on the screen as you tune to them, it's no big deal for me. Btw, I attempted to contact Saitek for a solution and shocker! -No Response.

Loosen screw on outer edge of dial, rotate dial to zero, lightly snug screw. When using dial for different surfaces, set dial on "0" for lower surface, raise plunger to higher surface, read difference between the two. Hope this helps.

You push the plunger to remove the core. I am careful not to touch the end or around the plunger, as it is sharp.

Pull plunger out of the top and run or soak in hot water. You just use sugar water inside so it dissolves easily

I'm not aware of any place to unscrew the lid! If you want, you can text me a picture at 443-794-0735. I should think it can probably be removed, but mine looks like the picture. Does the sticker cover the button or one of the ports?

Yours must just be stiff. I just get a firm grip on it and turn the top opening to the left. However, you will then need to re-pressurize it by pumping it up. Maybe you have too much pressure in it - try opening the little pressure valve first and then it should unscrew more easily.

I actually had the same problem and I called Schlage customer service. They were very helpful. In my case, I just had to tap the outside knob with a rubber mallet to get it to fully seat. It needs a harder "tap" than the inside.

The globe unscrews and I do this all in the sink or outside by the hose. Fill the globe and hold it upside down so that I can screw the bottom on tight and then flip it right up and no problems. While screwing on the black bottom portion, that part is on top while you are holding the globe upside down. Works great.

Turn the dispenser up side down, turn the tab to the unlock position and pull it up to remove. It should come out on the leaver side.

I had the same problem. If you can't remove it by pulling it as hard as you can. Return the control.If you try to pry it off the control will become damaged. The problem is the clip holding the knob on the stem istoo tight, the hole on the knob needs to be a hair larger

You have to use two plastic scrapers to gently remove the knob without breaking the switch. Intermatic stopped making this model timer. See other feedback posts about this switch. If you can, take it back for a refund !!!!!

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

Hi - Sorry you're having trouble. This thing is adorable! But the nozzle on our jar is the pits. My husband was trying to pour lemonade for guests and gave up - and used a soup scoop to get the liquid out of the top of it. A real disappointment. I'm not looking at mine (it's in a box high up on a shelf) - but - it seems to me if you can figure out how to unscrew the nozzle, you could then replace the washer. I'm sure you can find the correct size of washer in a hardware store. While you're at it, you might consider getting a completely new nozzle set up. I think I need to do the same thing. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good luck!

The plunger stem unthreads at the base where the screens are held in place and also at the ball tip. Be extra careful when twisting the pieces to unthread as there is a small bolt securing the screen attachements. I also recommend working over a tray, so as not to loose or misplace any of the small pieces. The white insulated layer is also removable from the stainless steel dome cap. Keep track of all the pieces when disassembling to ensure you have everthing to reassemble once all the pieces have been thoroughly cleaned.

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

I havn't had that prob-I hand wash. Top knob does unscrew so you can pull plunger out. Maybe then shake water out?
