Can I disassemble the unit and remove the springs if I want to press a piece of tofu that is thinner than standard thickness?

If you need to press something thin then it is easier to add a piece of plastic, wood, or something hard between the two plates. I have used a small book, a piece of wood, etc with plastic wrap around it (this piece needs to fit between the bolts and be about as wide as the plate) ...then put the thin piece of tofu on top of that and press it down. Much easier to cut/find a piece of wood or plastic (that you can use over and over) than to disassemble/assemble the press each time. This answer is for a very small group of users that want to press tofu or something else that is not the normal commercial tofu block size/thickness. If you disassemble the press we are not responsible and this will void the warranty. Terry - Custom Services

I would not. The dome shaped nut appears to be permanently attached on the top. On the bottom side of the press is the dome top of the screw and it is glued to the white board.

There is an rubber band around the unit on the narrow end just above the retractable stainless springs .... slip that off with a small flat head screw driver and you are good to go.

Yes, just relocate the tension springs away from any ports you need to get to. I also removed the top bracket and replaced it with a tension spring. As a safety precaution I used a wire tie to secure the MU350R.

I don't believe so but I would have to remove one of the two units I have and disassemble the 'frame' to see if they can be unscrewed from the inside. In that sense, the picture is accurate - you can't do it from the outside.

There are no springs. It's a simple butterfly screw and threaded metal rod setup. The only way to adjust the distance between the plates to press the Tofu harder is to shorten the distance between plates by tightening the screws.

The two springs will put some pressure on the tofu when you crank it down and then when the tofu expels some water and gets thinner there will not be any more pressure on the tofu, you will need tighten down the screws some more to expel more water. The four springs will enable you to crank it down to a point and as the water is expelled the tofu gets thinner, the two additional springs will put additional pressure on the tofu so it will automatically keep the pressure on. Hope this helps!

You can detach the crank at the top by removing two screws, but you cannot remove the bowl that holds the un-ground beans at the top.

Disassembled - NO. You can remove the grip panels to install a new CO2 cartridge, but that is as far as you can go.

You obviously have to disassemble the gun but yes. I suggest you do a good polishing of all contact points while you have everything taken apart. Makes for a nice crisp trigger.

Not really, you would need to partially dissemble the unit with a wrench. And even then it won't be very flat.

When you assembled the unit, you screwed on the handle in a clockwise direction, if I remember correctly. You should be able to disassemble it by unscrewing the handle.

I remember reading in the descriptions of the regular and the super...that the one with springs adjusts itself as it drains the tofu. The one without would need periodic adjusting to keep pressure on the block which facilitates the process. I opted for the super with springs and I love it!

Yes. There is no need to remove the top. Simply move the tension arm out of the way, place the roll, and let the tension arm back down onto the roll.

Nope, best bet ist to take apart some adjustment screws are hidden on bottom.

Not without bending it with a pair of pliers. I see no need to remove it anyway. It has two separate folding methods - one is somewhat raised as shown in this picture which makes it easy to handle when cooking - the other is to flip it over to make it lower. Also handle does not get hot when cooking. Love this pot. When cooking soups and stews this is the only pot I use anymore.

I buy tofu and I use the press to make the tofu a different texture. Removing the water makes it dense. To make tofu I believe you would start with soybeans.

Not sure what you mean by "disassemble" or why you would want to. You would simply remove the screws. But on the chance you mean remove the plunger to clean it, it is extremely easy. Simply lift the top handle enough to slip it out of the capture/retention grooves on each... resulting in two pieces. You'll likely need a small brush to clean the potatoes out of all the holes.... millions and billions of tiny holes. A million trillion holes. You get the idea. I seldom use mine.
