I had the same problem. It has to do with the lid being secure and the latches in the proper position. Try taking the lid off and putting it back on then secure the latches as close to the front of the unit as possible. Takes a few times to get the hang of how to secure the latches. Cheers, Jeff.

I am not sure because I tried to return the item when I saw that the lid does not fit to seal in food or odors.

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

Squeeze in, maybe. Outside Diameter of the lid is 10.75" If squeezed you may have difficulty opening and closing the lid. A perfect fit would be 10 7/8" or 11" wide space. Thanks, ...

We had this same issue when we had a cover on the lid part. It would not let it open far enough to stay up.

There are companies that make a wrench to fit the lid which creates equal pressure allowing easy opening (~27 bucks). I made mine with a jigsaw and a piece of plywood, tracing the lid notches...not pretty but works great.

Check the screw pattern @ Pelican ...there are several screws that you have to use to install this on the top lid.

Being scientifically challenged, this has happened to me. If I pour the water in, then put the lids on in the wrong order, I have had this issue. For me, put hot liquid in with tea. Next, add the two lids. Let teas brew. It should work then. Best of luck. I adore this cup!

Hold the base with one hand and rotate the lid with the other. If that doesn't work, you might have a dud. Ours works just fine.

Unlock hinges under table, then pull table out on both sides , then put in middle. It makes the table bigger. Hope this helps

I wondered the same thing & found this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R36DDEG4IAJ0NS/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B001NZQ70S&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;=#wasThisHelpfulSo according to this person it does not fit. Update: I tried it today at the MoMA design store & the lid is too large.

Same thing happened to me on the large one, my husband is very handy and he took the lid apart and there was a wire that got disconnected, he was able to fix it, if it wasnt for him than it would still not be working. If you filled out the product registration than you can contact the company and they will replace it.

Can't offer any suggestions on a lid I'm afraid, especially as all the recipes I use it for call for this to be used as is, and for the contents to be bubbling away without a cover. (Jams, jellies, marmalades etc...) The top measures 13" diameter and with the handle and pourer, I doubt you'd get a lid to fit anyway. Sorry about that!

I am sorry to say that I sent it back. Never even got to try it out. the reason is that some of the screws that hold the legs to the underside of the table were striped as the holes were also larger to show that it could be a problem. So sorry and good luck..

We've had the same problem. The tray/holder is poorly made and I would not recommend it. We bought it some time back and just recently used it for the first time. My intention is to return it.... as soon as I find a box it will fit in!

I only got the two cup version of this and the lid doesn't fit perfectly but is still usable as intended because with a bit of pressure the lid is very secure and performs fine. Not a perfect fit but I would rather have it a bit too big as it is instead of too small! It is more secure this way. So hope this may help
