I don't think you can. I soak mine in a little bit of bleach with warm water for a few hours.

Save yourself some money and just replace the black rubber water valve. Carefully remove the old one. To replace the new one (which will not come with instructions) put a little soap around the rim and it will pop in with little effort.

There is a small plastic cap, mine was yellow or green (can't remember) that is screwed onto the valve assembly. It is where you screw on one of the plastic nozzles. The valve can be pushed through to the inside of the cap so you can clean it. As no nozzle is attached when it is shipped, they put a transportation lock on the valve to prevent it from falling into the unit.

You can get rubberizer and dip them in it. Probably easier than looking for tips.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

with a knife blade, pry off the check valve from the bottom of the cylinder. Press the new check valve through the hole.

the metal parts, 2 tubings and round disc, are soldered together and can be separated from the rubber. just insert a flat screw drawer between the rubber and round disc, and slowly separate and slide the metal parts from the black rubber. after washing the metal parts in the dish washer and slide back into the rubber.

The handle/Motor just wipe off with a little soap and water then down the Frother part. Rinse off the Frother with a quick spin under clean water.

Also put a little dob of Vaseline on the rubber washer at the bottom of the water tank. Makes a heap of difference to the running.

Try taking the bottom off and clean the rubber gasket in soap and water. Then reassemble and use a little olive oil on the gasket

I believe that you are referring to the metal screw that holds the device to the hose bib. It just secures the backflow in place. As for cleaning, you will need to remove the entire thing to clean it well. It's easy to get off and you should have to do it often.

take the screws off and and cover plate clean the inside. lube up the o ring. if the screws are stripped you might have to replace the valve. these valves do have a lifetime warranty. but they only replace the insides. like I say if the screws are stripped you will need to replace. and it's a pain.

We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.

I lay it out and use a water vac to suck the air out of the valves. Then fold each side into the middle then fold it up.

I don't have "tricks" up my sleeve, but if I was struggling with this problem, I think I would try a large wrench.... the kind that is used to remove an oil filter from an automobile. It has a rubber strap that wraps around tightly so you can twist it off. Hope this helps.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.
