It just pulls out. At least mine did. Try running hot water over the plastic for a minute or 2 to get it to expand a bit then turn the unit upside down, lightly tap the bottom a couple times, hold the glass in one hand & pull up on the plastic (while twisting) with the other hand. Dont force it tho!!!!! Its glass & can break. But this worked for both of mine.

Press and hold the metal wick holder down (springy) and twist. It should unscrew then.

I just ordered a replacement directly from Krups. Go to http://www.thekrupsstore.com/KRUPS-MS-0017102-230-Measuring-Beaker/dp/B00I215P5E. It was only $4.99 and it allowed me to use my Amazon prime account to place the order.

Unscrew the bottle from the base and the base comes apart into 2 pieces for cleaning ...it can get stuck a bit from the sticky liquid but drop it into warm water for a minute and it will come apart

I have only used this unit to extract oil and tranny fuel, as far as cleaning I just used the vacuum to clean it. What ever residue that was left in the tube I just left it. My best guess would be to used a dishsoap water solution such as Dawn. Run it thourgh a couple of times, then let it dry. By the way I love this thing.

I usually shake it a bit to get it out. I have found though after time of using it that its quality of use has declined. I am not sure why, but the stuff gets trapped and its not coming out like it did before. Not sure why. I am going to contact Ozeri to replace it. They have great customer service.

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

Hello Heidi; Look at the soap container, it has a blue sleeve on it. Above the blue sleeve is a white cap. Unscrew this white cap until it comes off. It might be a bit tight in the beginning so you might want to use something with grip to turn it without slipping. Do not jerk the cap off as the siphon is attached to it. Once open, fill the container with your soap/shampoo of choice and screw the cap back on tight enough so it won't leak but not so tight you will have difficulty unscrewing it the next time. Make sure that the siphon goes back where it belongs. Keep in mind that the soap is dispensed only from the front spray. I hope this helps :) Hello Heidi; Look at the soap container, it has a blue sleeve on it. Above the blue sleeve is a white cap. Unscrew this white cap until it comes off.

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.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

That is the only way I have found to get the cylinder out of the plastic case. I generally put it upside down in the sink and then when it has thawed enough, lift the plastic case off.

Unscrew glass from base. Make sure to loosen the set screw on shroud first.

I've never tried to remove mine cus I love it so much, but the instructions suggest u use rubbing alcohol on it and it should come off easily. Hope that helps

If you're talking about the little coolie hat-shaped thing inside the cup that holds the whole beans, I couldn't get that off to clean it. It was too tight. I searched for instructions but couldn't find any. Sounds like you got it off and the cup too. There must be a peg on the bottom of the cup that fits into a hole if you get it all lined up right. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

I just use warm water, dish soap and a scrub brush on it anytime it needs cleaning. It comes right off.

Yes! That's what I do to sterilize it! To take it apart you just push the tube up through the cup and it comes right off! Hope this helps! :)

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more
