How do you get the lid to stay put? It is a bit to big and it moves and the drawer opens while the machine is running, I'm constantly moving the dome

I bought a clear hose from HomeDepot made a slit all the way down (do NOT cut in two) then pressed it onto the rim of the metal tub. I cant remember the hose size but I could fit my finger in it snug.

We didn't buy the dome. I had used a similar machine before buying this one, and the lid seemed to be more of a hindrance than a help.

It sounds like the machine is not quite level. If it is vibrating a lot, you may want to make sure that you have a firm, level surface and that the legs are all secure on the bottom of the machine. They are small, black, and may come loose or move slightly which will create the movement you are experiencing.

I use thin cardboard from a 12 pack of soda and put on each side and at the back on the bowl, then put the lid on top. You don't need big pieces and will need to fold in half...it will buffer the vibrations and the drawer stopped sliding open too.

I use two bungee cord's, crossed over the top dome. I don't have a problem with the drawer moving, but you could use one there as well

I had a similar problem with mine in that the lid didn't quite line up just right. It took some fiddling but once it was in place it stayed put. I bought mine to roast coffee beans and it did a pretty mediocre job of it. My unit did not get hot enough to even reach a medium roast. I ended up selling mine in a garage sale.

You need to make sure all of the drawers are pushed all the way in. The same thing happened to me the first time I tried to lock mine. But like Michael I prefer to leave mine slightly ajar so I can have the top closed and still have access to the tools in the drawers.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

Im guessing you assembled the front of the drawer upside down. I did the same thing on one of my and the drawer would not close all the way. It would hit the bottom lip of the stand. Hope this helps.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

i had that problem for a while but just kept raising the tray and pulling and it would come out, or jockey it back and forth. i no longer have the problem though. make sure it is on a flat surface.

Put a dab of oil on your finger and rub it around the rim of the lid and you have your problem solved. Don´t put too much oil so that the lid will not come loose.

Put a bit of olive oil on the sliding edges. It's normal to need a stronger push to fully close the lid, but, if closing it isn't possible at all, then return the pan. It might be bent.

We had the same problem. Had to get new higher quality rails and add a shim between the rail and the desk so the drawer would fit properly. I would suggest returning it if you don't want to go to that much trouble.

I press the "drink" button to release any pressure or vacuum inside the container. Then unscrew the lit counter clock wise. It goes on pretty tight so you have to use a little muscle, I know the first times I was worried about breaking it. Also important when putting the lid back on to make sure it is aligned so you do not cross thread it. Good luck.

hi, can you be a little more specific? I'm not sure what you mean by open close lid. I should be able to help you as I have this, and use it almost daily. Also, is your machine brand new? or did this start happening after some time? are you fully able to lock the unit in place. Once a week, I usually have to clean the locking mechanism, behind it, by removing all 4 screws. This is because juice gets behind there and starts making it sticky and difficult to lock and unlock.

sometimes the top plastic comes loose , I've put two small pieces of gaffer tape to keep it in place. good luck

It's loose inside the drawer. I had connected it wide enough that it touches the sides of the drawer. It will move a little, but you can put double sided tape on the bottom if you want it to stay in place.

I would agree with the previous answers. I've never had it happen on this product but have experienced it in two other models at work. Just play with the other drawer to unlatch. Also make sure you jiggle bottom drawer too...it could be both drawers together.

Glad to help. Also, the machine does not turn off when you shut the lid, I made that mistake a couple times. It will run itself dry and you wont see its on because the lid's is shut. So always remember to flick the switch toward you to off.
