Ihave a problem getting the cap off and I followed the directions. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

The same thing happens to me. As the others have said, it's like a child-proof cap that requires turning while you rotate. However, even with that knowledge I sometimes I have trouble. I usually spend 7-10 seconds pushing and rotating and pushing and rotating and eventually it just works. I suspect I'm just not pushing hard enough sometimes, because I seem to be more successful when I position my body directly above it so I can really lean on it when I push down.

That's odd - I'd say let it cool down completely, but I haven't had to do that so it shouldn't be an issue. Did you release all the pressure from the tank? Maybe have someone hold the release button while you try getting the lid to budge?

That can be a little tricky, especially after some mineral build-up. You have to press down pretty firmly on the cap while turning it open - like a child-proof cap. I still love my steamer, once you get yours open, I hope you can say the same. Good luck!

Wilma - Not sure what you are asking, but if you are talking about the cap where you put the water, it may be that when the water is too hot, it won't let you unscrew the cap, as a safety precaution. Also, when screwing it on, it doesn't tighten all the way, to allow for steam escape. Hope this helped you. Barbara

push down on the grey cap as you try to unscrew. This is sorta like the safety cap on a bleach bottle. You'll feel it click into the slot...

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

Hello Rick. I think you don't have problem becuase I installed the caps and I hadn't got any problem. Hope my answer help you. Best regards, Germán

I think there is a small screw that holds the cap in place. I'm not home so I can't check mine out. Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't experience such a problem. I just turned the top and it opened up. Perhaps running hot water around the rim of the cap might help.

Make sure that the cap is tightened all the way, and that the battery is in the proper direction. If that does not work, your battery may be dead, or the product may be defective.

This is a child safety top. You need to push down on the cap and turn it counter clockwise. When you push down there is a small tab that will line up with a notch and once that catches, it starts to unscrew. Do the same to close and tighten

I have never removed the cap myself, have just flushed with clean water. I see 4 screws holding mine in place. Would suggest removing them to get filter cap completely off.My red filter cap is part of water tank. Hope this will help you. K.V.

I haven't had any problems getting the cap off. You might let it cool for a minute so it isn't quite so hot.

You have to remove the orange cap. It will work great then. Remove orange cap then put together. It comes off pretty hard, but it must be removed to work. Hope this helps.

You just give the black cap a light twist and a tug and it should come off, sometimes it can get a little stuck on there, so you just gotta tug a little harder, it is pretty hard to hurt the tube so you don't have to worry bout that.

It happened to me the first time because I forgot to remove the black cap , see the assembling instruction Ax1. After I removed the black cap, everything works perfect. Good luck!

Do you still have the instructions? They should indicate. I was just looking myself and it looks a bit trickier than normal as there seems to be some kind of secondary cap.

You want to make sure the cap is sealed tightly before putting the cartridge into the container and screwing it on. If this is what you are doing and your cartridge is leaking, I would say that yes, it is defective.

The clear plastic cap snaps on and off. The spray portion screws on and off. Hope that helps!

I called Bunn and was connected with their commercial support. I was advised NOT to try to take off the Bellow Cap and not to try to clean it by pouring water in it. I asked why the directions said to take it apart. I was told that these instructions come from the manufacturer (?) and aren't correct.

you have to turn off the pump first--start turning the lid 1/2 turn then push in tab (button) on side of lid--then turn another 1/2 turn to the next tab (button) to fully remove-----hope this helps---think of opening a medicine bottle cap
