I gave this as a gift and we can not get the basket out to put the discs in, how is this done.

when you use it the disc's stick to the food and comes out each time. how do you get the disc to stay in place and not lift out. Does the basket come out so you can insert the disc

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

I have tried this ricer three times since I bought it and I like it very much. The plates fit very well with the well. I have not tried the one with the smallest holes though. I like the ones with bigger holes - dough comes out through these holes very easily. Besides, this stainless steel ricer is very study and strong and when you press the dough hard down you don't feel it wiggle in your hands like a few other plastic ricers.

Open the tool as far as you can and place the basket upside down over the edge of wooden cutting board or a folded towel on the kitchen counter. Gently tap the disc with a wooden malet or large wooden spoon until it dislodges.

There is one disk already installed. Just push up on it from below and it will pop out. It's a tight fit and will take a moderate amount of pressure, but you should be able to do it with your fingers.

The disc slides in and fit well. you just need to open the top completely and drop the disc in. it fits right on top of the existing bottom.

It's easy to remove the discs because there are spaces in the middle of the rims on the half of the case where the disc sits, one on the top and another one on the bottom. When you push down to loosen the disc you have spaces to put your fingers so you can grasp the disc by the edges and lift it out. It's a little hard to explain but I hope you get the picture!

Haha. It can be a little tough... Remove the outter rubber cover.. Take a butter knife or screw driver and youll see two random spaces while looking at the sides.... Put the screw drive in and twist at it begin to come aprt about halfway.. You have to be a little more creative and use a similar technique getting the second half opened. Best of luck

just lightly pull the wires apart & the nuts or whatever just fall back out. I really enjoy mine saves the back. carry a bucket with you. only fill the basket about half to 3/4 full.

The round disk is only used if you want to hang the basket with the chain. It was explained in the directions.

The basket is hard to get in because of the side clips inside the baker unit. If you are pushing down and it still does not go down, then you may need to rotate the turning blade on the bottom of the mixing pan to realign it to the bottom of the baker unit.

The bottom basket is not longer than the top basket. Hope this response helps.

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

hold each side towards the middle (top) gently pull apart and/push together to make bigger or smaller. Good Luck

Not that I've found. I'm just putting the master discs in the front of the box. Also, put the box on a sturdy shelf. If it is on the floor it tips over every time I move. We are talking about a truly horrible design flaw. It is sturdy tucked away on a shelf and is never touched.

It is a bit hard to open, so give it a good pull. Hope that helped and you get it open.

Either something is probably bent around the basket ... straighten it out .... or ... there might be a small metal spur around the moving parts that will have to be twisted off with needle nose pliers or filed off with a small metal file. Push comes to shove, and you don't have a metal file .... try the file on a pair of fingernail clippers. (It's worked for me before) ..... or .... call "Amazon Customer Service" and they will be happy to take care of it for you with a new one. I do like mine a lot !

Lift the handle up and lift out handle and basket are one piece. Hope this helps

Sorry Jane but I can't. It didn't quite fit the "hole" in had to sit in so I cut through it , took it to work and welded it back to the correct dimension that was needed. I can tell you that it wasn't the heigth or length that was the problem but the width. Had to sqeeze the basket into the area it sits in and it would pop back out and the seat wouldn't close...until I fixed it. :-)

It sounds as if your discs are just too close to the edge of the plate. It will mean removing them, and trying some new ones with the ring further down or away from the edge...I don't think they are reusable. And they definitely come in a variety of sizes...be sure to select a size appropriate for your plate.

That's funny because I had the same question! I tried and tried but could not figure out how to get the darn thing open!!!
