It should tell you in the instructions. Here's a link to a PDF. It takes a minute to load as it's 44 pages long. http://www.royalvacuums.com/manuals/RY7910.pdf

I have not attempted to take it apart but it certainly looks like it would be difficult. It is also difficult to clean but has given me no trouble and I would replace it if this one would get "broken".

I dont think you can take them apart but possibly steam cleaning would work. I have only had mine a month and a half. Doubled on covering so I wont worry about it too often.

I have never taken it apart to clean but there is a plastic cover on the back that will pop off and opens up to the spinning cylinder. So I do believe you can clean it that way.

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

Yes we have taken ours apart a few times to clean. It is not a easy task but it can be done. Remove the screws and everything comes off to clean. Then the fun part begins to put it all back together again. Remember or take a few pictures before you start removing things...it will make it easier to re-assemble.

Try some oil or grease, you can clean it off with a solvent if it doesn't work

I have never tried to take mine fully apart. I am afraid the small tabs that hold the two halves together would break off. I haven't had any problems cleaning it as long as it is unlocked.

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

It all comes apart but I can't explain how to do it. The one thing I will say is that the handle is difficult to unscrew but it is doable.

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

Actually, I've taken mine apart to clean.... I don't have details on the type of bits and drivers to use, but as a 60+ year old female (who likes to take things apart), I was able to. Cleaning it thru the grill is a bit tricky, but it can be done. I found using my husbands compressor with an air nozzle handle and that was easier than disassembling/re-assembling it. But beware: turn it on outside after doing so or the loosened dirt will blow out!!

From the instruction booklet said it can be remove for easy cleaning, so far, I was not successfully and I don't want to forced it!

You can't disassemble it. I would recommend a vacuum cleaner and a can of compressed air. I vacuum mine once a week. Call Contour Design, if you have the RED, it's still under warranty.

You should be able to pull it back out. Maybe fish it out with a pair of tweezers?

Just turn it inside out and clean it with soap and water. Hang it up to dry.
