can't you simply move the springs to above the top part to make it press the tofu without manual adjustments???

You twist the two black pieces to tighten it and untwist them to loosen it. It is very quick and easy and I am happy with it. I always stand it on its side and everything drips right out, super easy.

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.

Yes it can be a little challenging. However if you turn the press top as you compress the ground beef, the top will release.

Unscrew top using indentations to help Instructions accompany item. Load spice e.g nutmeg cut in half into chamber. Gentle forceful closure of top with turn clockwise till click is felt. Need strong arms to hold while applying downward force & turning top part clockwise. I had trouble at first but once I figured it out, it works perfectly and I have freshly ground nutmeg for hot coffee every AM

Just push down and a little forward on the "V" shaped section which has little indention (looks like a small dot) on top of the device where the spring is located. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.

Yes there is a tool for attaching the springs, you will not need steaks to secure it to the ground it's heavy enough to not move. FYI read the directions very carefully - we had to take ours a part 3 times before we got it right

Unfortunately I can't remember exactly how. I will try take a look this evening. I think the previous answer is correct. If I remember correctly, I forced the seat down several times before the spring was activated/able to work. I think there is a release bar the trigger by pressing to down firmly

I can't imagine you are too weak. With mine, you turn the black top piece in one direction to pop it up for use, and push it down and turn it the other direction to lock it when not in use. When in the popped up position, you don't turn it to chop. You push it down. (See previous comment about what to do if food gets stuck)

change the temp? hold the button to move it up? not sure what your question is

Not easily. You have to reverse the process of winding the spring - takes a minute, two hands and two screw rods...

We buy the tofu in the package that comes in a brick shape. Just open the package and slide it in. Works great.

no actual option such as resistance knob or any other manual device. You can make it harder by leaning forward or backward, but then the true resistance is on your arms not your legs,and it becomes very uncomfortable.

You have to manually push it down. But I assume you have already tried that and it didn't work.

It doesn't do this very well, no. You might be able to close the gas valve a bit to achieve this though. Or cook with the top up.

I do not see a way to open this thing up so I doubt you can adjust the springs. It is self centering, and you can make fine adjustments to the joystick axisis by using the two adjustment wheels on the unit. The unit works great, you can call CH if you need tech help, but you probably will not need to.

Actually yes you can, that is part of what is extending under the head, you just loosen a knob and you can pull the head up and re tighten the knob. It may become top heavy if you do it too much though.

Not that I'm aware of. Never tried to adjust the arm. Not sure if your talking up and down or lateral movement.Either way I haven't had a need to do so.

I don't. I suppose you can, but you'd have to adjust the knobs each time you want to move it, which might affect the life of the product.
