How do the handles come off? Where do I buy parts?

There are small setscrews holding the handles. Use a small blade screw driver to remove them. I'm not sure about replacement handles, if they could be purchased from a distributor or not. The handles are definitely not like any others I have ever seen. The valve stem they attach to is standard so you could replace the handles with something more typical if something should happen to the original ones.

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

I have too disagree with the other review. The grips are removable and will wear out in time. I, too, would like to know where to buy spares. Nice to know it's sturdy enough to hang outside.

I know it doesn't come with attachments and I don't think the handle detaches. I vaguely remember it came as a one piece unit.

Twist the bottom of the handle, which releases the top and it comes apart. Change the blade and reassemble.

The handles are screwed on to the pot and do periodically come loose. The good news is that the screws are easily tightened. This version of the handle, by the way, is better than the original.

Don't even remove the outside handle. Hold it in place, remove the inside handle, screw it right into the old outside handle. You might have to wiggle the lever to get the inside and outside moving parts to line up.

Very easy. I don't remember every step but basically you put the back on (simple as pie) and stick the handles into the holes where they obviously belong and then use the two large knobs (provided) to secure the handles. That requires aligning the hole in the tube with the hole in the handle, so it takes a little care, but it is not at all "difficult". The rest is pretty much preassembled for you.

the handle on my unit can be taken off by aligning the slot and sliding the handle over, then carefully lifting that end then the other to remove the handle , then lift the clear top the tabs last. to assemble reverse the steps

I am not aware of any option on handles. What is shown in the attached picture is the outside keypad handle and the inside knob for locking the door from inside. Both are required and part of the purchase.

Remove the black rubber molding and screw the handles in with the screws that came with the unit

Not much help here as I have never tried to remove the handles. Never had to as it is a workhouse and very easy to keep clean.Ask the manufacture directly.

I think I remember sometime back seeing a video on how these were made. I think the handles are dipped into the plastic and allowed to cool. I wouldn't remove them because I value their comfort grip. However, you could take a sharp knife and with the tip, run it the length of the rubber grip and just peal it off.

No the handles do not come off. Not sure of the brand. We're very dissatisfied with the cookware and the seller we purchased them from.

In inspecting my own, there doesn't look to be a way to detach the handle. There are rivets connecting it to the peel surface, and the wooden extension seems to be glued to the metal handle.
