The cover is very tight. Insert the pin in the hole drilled under the lip of the pot. Close the two top flaps and push toward the hole and pin and down at the same time.My husband had to do it the first time but I have been able to insert the lid since then. It seems to have gotten easier after heating the pot when popping the corn

Put both flaps of the cover up and hold the tops in one hand, then slide the end of the rod into the small hole near the top of the pot, lower the 2 sides and push down on the opposite side (the handle side) til the metal tab under the handle clamps in. Beware: the edges of the cover are sharp. I know cuz I cut my finger. To safely remove the cover, with the handle facing you, place each thumb on the rim, one on each side of the handle. Place each index finger under the metal tab under the handle, then push down with the thumbs and up with the index fingers and it should pop off.

Its fairly easy to secure the lid. There is a rod (on the opposite end of the handle on the lid) that fits into a hole in the pan. Once rod is in the hole, push down the clip (under the handle on the lid) that fits over the pans lip. Then clamp one side of the top by pushing down on the nob that is on the top of the lid (the small wood nob) I usually leave one of the top nobs unlatched so its fast and easy to pour the popcorn out of the pan when it's done popping. It does take some force, but the lid is very secure when fastened and will not come off when dumping the popcorn out of the pan. I hope this helps. Its fairly easy to secure the lid.

Line it up with the hole for the pin on the lid, then squeeze the large clamp by the handle and lower the lid on.

The cover will click on. Turn the cover on the top of the pot until it is even, click in 1 side at a time.

I have no difficulties putting the cover on. Just align the latch pin with the hole and then press the latch lever and press down on the lid and it pops right in.

it has a hole towards the topof the pot and you line a pin off the end of the lid in the hole then it just's snaps down very easy and a good design.

I remember trying to get the cover off was very tough. I wanted to open it up to mount it with wood screws through the inside of the case, but eventually settled for using the double back tape approach. Works well.

That's it. Screw down the nut, but not real tight when you are done adjusting it. First time taking the cover off, unscrew the nut and pull straight up.

Hi Dr. Mark it is really hard to do it. I was unable to do it. I had to have my brother come and help me and try to figure it out. He was able to do it but then just last week after one week of it staying on it fell down. I wish I could help you with it but you just need to turn it and then it is suppose to hold. The directions are very poor so it does not help much. Sorry.

It's like all the comments below, just squeeze the sides evenly and it will come off quick and easy, but it is possible you are trying to squeeze the solid part of the housing where the remote is kept which that will make it difficult to remove the cover. if you are still having a hard time then it possible it is defective.

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.

Ryan, you will have to remove the cover. My wife tried it with the cover and broke something.

Push on the top and bottom of the plastic cover and pull up at the same time. It will come right off.

i found it very difficult also...it is a struggle. you need to peel the protective piece off very delicately and hope you don't leave a residue on the good piece. i had more problems with this covering than others.

dear lyn: i too had this problem i tried to put cover on but it just kept comming off so i just put a piece of scotch tape over cover and side but not on foam part & it works fine now & when i put another battery in place i will do the same so it wont fall out. works fine still thanks.

You have to be able to reach the top of the umbrella. Not sure of any other way than laying the umbrella down to put the cover on.

It took me one or two tries....undo it and set that side first and push down fairly hard. only when you feel it "click" (and it's subtle) should you move on to the other side. If this doesn't work, definitely let them know and get another one, since once I got my on, it has stayed on beautifully. I remember though that there was a moment or two when I thought one side might not snap, but it did.

What type of cover you have? I found the screws backs easy to put back. For snap-on, there are few tricks which you can find on youtube.

It's not easy to get it, is it? Without instructions what we did was put the cover on top (after threading the string through the holes) and then tied the string tight so it stayed. I was not happy with the cover and have since tossed it...it sagged in the middle and trapped rainwater that would turn muddy and it was impossible to remove the cover without getting muddy water in the pool. The cover design needs improvement. Good luck.

I know its kind of difficult to remove. Use both thumb and pull back the cover. You can stick a folk or even you thumb and slide it in between the cover and the laptop. That should work.

Sorry, I can't help you. We bought this as a gift and don't actually have the cover.
