The pot slides In and out from the back. Handy for clean up after if the patient cannot get up

Press and hold the metal wick holder down (springy) and twist. It should unscrew then.

You can lift up the weight on top with a pot holder and the pressure will release. You can then screw it off. If you want quick pressure release, run cold water over the lid. It takes less than 15 seconds that way.

Remove the basket, remove the heating element and simply lift the metal insert up out of the metal base. If it's still hot, you'll obviously need pot holders. I myself just let it cool till it's "warm" and return it to it's original container. There is no "drain" in the bottom, you'd have to tip it and let the oil run over the rim of the insert. Can be pretty heavy, and you'll need a steady hand, and to pour slowly so you don't make a huge mess. I can be done.

There is a set screw under the spout. Just unscrew it so that you can pull the spout toward you.

The pot goes In the dishwasher. You have to wash the cover by hand but it's really not a big deal.

No - after a couple of times you get the hang of it -only take the lid off to clean the pot

With the carafe on the heating element, grab the carafe handle and pull the carafe out and away from the heating element.

I would never try to lift a glass top/lid without a pot holder. There is also a little steam hole on top. Use the pot holder. I have used a pot holder and not used a pot holder on the handle.

That is the on/ off switch. Set the pot on the heating unit and push down on the handle...it will cut off automatically. I love it!!!!

There is a sliding latch. Push it towards the center. Then twist the lid and lift off.

The two handles on the straps pull the zig-zag rubber strips tighter as you lift. You slide the rubber strips apart, put them around the pot, pull them down to below the bulge of the pot, pull the handles out so the rubber strips tighten on the pot, and lift. The weight of the pot should make the rubber strips grab below the bulge and keep the pot in place. Round like a ball is more difficult -- most pots have some height and taper to them -- but careful placing of the rubber strips below the bulge will let you pick it up.Also, just to make sure you get the picture: It takes two people to work the lifter correctly -- one person can't pull the handles apart hard enough to keep the rubber strips in place.

Brenda, press the 2 buttons on either side of the top (like when you're ready to make coffee) and once the top is tilted at a 45 degree angle, you'll notice that the hinge of the top can be detached from the pot - just by pulling forward slightly should help it come loose. Hope this helps!
