You can see in the picture there are red and blue plastic cylinders that hold the magnets in them. You just pull the cylinders out.

We just wiggled and pulled at the same time. You don't need the magnet in for it to work. We preferred to use it with out.

I haven't removed the magnets. To release the suction of the cup, just pull the little plastic tips upwards on top of the cup.

Take a small pair of pliers and very gently twist them back and forth and they will pop out dont force then or the plastic domes will crack

The magnets are attached to the metal bar. You could use the bar as one very strong magnet. You wouldn't have to worry about breaking them.

There's a cup release button, it's grey and on the opposite side of the handle from the power button. ONce it's removed you just turn the top and dump. I usually have to shake the filter into a bag to loosen up the cat hair and dirt. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.

Sorry but I've had no excuse to try to remove them. I would try goo gone, it does everything! Good luck, Donna

It's removable. Move the cup around (it titled to the side and I was able to remove it that way).

There is a tab on the rubber portion of the cup that allows for easy removal.

1st try to removing the cup. Hold the cup level in the palm of your hand then reinstall making sure that the cup is aligned properly to fasten to the threads by turning clockwise to fasten.

The cup will attract a magnet but it is not magnetic itself (it will not adhere to a metal surface that is not magnetic) a knife strip it will.

Hello there is a small magnet set into the filter cartridge. It is there to help remove metals.

mine came with one long strip that I cut to size. the frame of the shower where the door shuts should be metal. that is what the magnet magnetizes to. simply pull the old strip out. put a small amount of dish washing soap in the channel that the strip goes in. slide the new strip in place. cut the new strip to the proper length in the channel. do not try to cut it out of the channel. you may cut it too short. once in place, take some pliers and gently bend the end of the channels in so the magnetic strip cannot slide out. door should close properly now. hope this helped.

You can't really, they don't come out. I stuck mine in the dishwasher but after a while it started forming a black goo under the bottom so I threw it out and went with a different one.

Use lighter fluid, polish remover will stain the cup. You will be amazed how easy it comes off!

I can think of maybe 2 options. Use double sided tape and place over the magnets OR use that magnetic strip material and cut to the size of the magnets and glue that to the plastic covers. Hope this helps.

I don't know. FWIW, a magnet won't stick to it.If you get one, be SURE not to forget to butter the little cups well. Else you will have a devil of a time cleaning.

Yes. When you pull the green part off, the cup and empty it, then kind of knock the ground off the rest. just push through with your finger on the inside part and the cap will just pop off. I had the same issue of struggling to get it off. Just make sure you tap it first to get all the grounds out or you'll get the grounds on your finger. Hope that makes sense.

I am pretty sure you can get them from the thermos website. I clean mine out with a long fat pipe cleaner bent in half and slightly twisted together. It is big enough and strong enough to shove down it and clean it out.

You twist the reservoir and take it off to empty it. It's a clear cup that screws right back in when you are ready to use it again.
