How do you take apart the top for cleaning?

I have the old model, but there are screws on the top that you can take out to get to the inside of the lid for thorough cleaning. Hope that helps!

Just take hold of the bottom with one hand and pull the whole silver top off. It just slides on and off. Shalom!

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

I use a small brush that came with my old grinder to scoop out the extra grounds when I remove the grounds collection container on the bottom. I have never tried to clean out the top. I don't know if you can completely disassemble the unit--I've never tried to completely clean the grinding burrs. Pressurized air (either via air compressor or canned air) would likely work

You simply twist it holding the top and bottom and it will separate in the middle. Sometimes it's a little tricky but there should be an arrow indicating which way to twist it.

You could use the tools that came with it and take it apart. You may be able to find the assembly instructions on the Sole website and you could use that to help take it apart.

1st remove the rubber back, the pull apart the plastic case I start at the top, you need to pull apart with firm pressure you can also use a quarter to start the pull apart process. I hope help you

Yes, I did. Don't know how else to really clean it without taking the lid apart.

Just lift the top using the handle and then dump the bottom "bin" to empty the shreds. After you empty the bin, just replace the top and you're ready to shred again.

I have never taken it apart to clean but there is a plastic cover on the back that will pop off and opens up to the spinning cylinder. So I do believe you can clean it that way.

Unscrew the top lid. Just unscrew the lid, which might be a bit difficult, but it will unscrew. After you take off the lid itself, you have to sort of pry the inner lid up and off. No unscrewing necessary for that. Just work it out. You might try using a butter knife to get that part loose. NOT A STEAK KNIFE!! You'll poke your eye out!!!

Unscrew the bottle from the base and the base comes apart into 2 pieces for cleaning ...it can get stuck a bit from the sticky liquid but drop it into warm water for a minute and it will come apart

Beverly, It's not difficult to remove the top.....it's attached by two clips on each side. So you just flip them up and lift off the top. My only complaint is that the top really should have a handle of TOP so it would be easy to move the unit around and to just lift it off from the base instead of having to lift from where the two pieces meet. Also this is an odd shape and very large, so there are no liners that fit it. Even so we really like it....it holds a lot of litter and the shape fits perfectly in a corner. I scoop out once/twice a day and I can do this w/o having to take the top off. Then once a week I use a large kitchen trash bag, dump out all the litter and replace it. Hope this helps! Kim

I would remove the top(unscrew lid) and then screw it back on. Also pinch where the number is located as directed in the instructions.

I haven't tried taking it apart, because it doesn't look like it should. I soak the top in soapy water to get the coffee gunk out. I also take the vinegar water mixture from cleaning the coffee maker, pour it into the container while it is still hot, and run it through the spout.

The top comes off exposing all parts that need to be cleaned. Very easy!! Love ours.

The top comes off so that you can clean the bristles and also the cup. Easy to clean.
