The lid is stuck. How do I unscrew it?

There is a tool that comes with it that you use to take the lid off. Although, it says not to use the tool to tighten it, only tighten with your hands. It gets tighter as the ice cream is being made.

It eventually comes unstuck with the little "tool" that they sent, but it gets in pretty tight as the ball starts to freeze.

You need to press the two tabs in with a butter knife or a flat head screw driver to remove the lid.

Try twisting the lid on and off. Sometimes that can allow the latch on the bowl to release.

It is a screw-off lid but is very difficult the first time. I used an "ice pick" and put it through the slots and it helped me free the bond and unscrew the top. You can use a screwdriver or any kitchen tool (spoon?) that can fit through the slot. After that first time, it is easier to work.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

Turn the lid upside down and press down on the center of the raised area. The rest of the lid will detach and you'll find the battery compartment in the part that detached.

I haven't had a problem with the lid coming off. You need to push it untill you feel the 'click' engaging. Maybe stretch out a couple of paperclips, clip one end through loop on top and other through the mesh?

Unscrew retaining nut, remove washer, slowly working the edge ply the metal lid up. Careful not to damage the rubber, for inner rubber covered lid, gently pull rubber barrel edge back to release pressure/vacuum, then pull up inner rubber covered lid. It can be pulled by the stud that held the nut inplace.

To close the lid, just put it back on, use your thumb & middle finger and squeeze the side until it pops to close.

Turn it counter clockwise. If it sticks continue to turn and gently pull up. Once the plastic lid is off the stainless part should fall out. If not just tap it. Peter

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

turn the lid upside down and put your thumbs in the center circle, then pull the white part off using the two center hooks...battery compartment right underneath..

Hold opener parallel to the top of the can, and clamp on. You don't need to clamp very hard. Then turn handle clockwise. The other direction will not work. Use the pliers to take the lid off.

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

Hold the pot by the handle and lift the top off by pulling up on the tab over the handle. To replace the lid, insert the spout end first and press down on the tab over the handle.
