How do you take the filter and blade off to clean? it came together easily, but having trouble taking it apart...

You remove the top and back end. (you will need to put the silver handle down to do this) You then need the crescent tool to unhook the blade. After the blade comes out, the strainer and top level will come off with no further problem.
If for some reason you do not have the crescent tool, if there is someone to hold the strainer still, you can use two screwdrivers in the holes of the blade and press down and turn with those instead. I JUST had to do this when I realized mine came without the stinking tool!

I did some research here on Fixya and this is what another expert had to say.........pull the metal bar forward and down to open up into the blade compartment. your juicer should have come with a handle type key wrench thing that you stick on top of the blades into holes to unscrew blade holder, while unscrewing that hold the blade still.
Hope this helps you......best wishes.

Maybe its the orange tool you're talking about. The tool has two ends. It fits in the blade. The blade has 2 holes. Fit it in the 2 holes and turn it to screw the blade out. Careful not to cut your hands.

the blade can be removed possibly with your hands, if you can manage to turn it, if not then find something that will fit into those little holes of the blade to turn it, and then take it apart, but remember in what order. to put it together: the grey thing with the spout attached goes on first, then the orange basket, then the blade, but don't turn it too tight, just look for the indicator marks and line them up with the arrows, then the black lid, and then the pulp basket.make sure that the black lid in the back, goes INTO the pulp collector, it is not very far, but if it is not done like this, then your machine will not work. then you raise and lock the bar into place and put the pusher into the feeding tube. hope that helps.

If you don't have the orange blade tool, just find a big wire around 1/8 diameter. Bend it and insert both ends on the blade holes. Cover the sharp blade with cloth or use leather gloves.Turn the blade.

First thing you need to do is take it apart, which can be done pretty simply until you get to the actual blade and strainer. You will need to use the crescent tool, the one with two pins. Insert it in the blade, and turn it counterclockwise while holding the filter so it doesnt turn. All the parts should come apart easily.

i find the best way to clean these parts is using a small brush, not a sponge or rag.

Take off the top part of the juicer that has the chute. You will see the blade and basket. The blade appears to be attached to the basket with three small screws but is actually screwed onto the basket by a large screw that protrudes out of the basket underneath the blade. So the trick is to unscrew the blade, turning it to the left by using maybe a small screwdriver that you will have to put into one of the two small holes that are on the blade surface and pushing the blade to the left. This should loosen the blade and then you can just unscrew the blade off the basket. Once you get that blade off, the rest of the juicer comes apart. The newer models come with a little tool with a couple of arms that go down into those holes and loosen the top. Good luck.

There are two holes on the surface of the blade. When the juicer was bought, it came with a half moon shaped orange tool that has two posts that fit into these two holes.

By inserting the tool into these holes you can unscrew the blade from the machine as long as you hold the outer screen while doing so.

Once this is done, you simply lift the other pieces off.

If you can't find your orange two prong tool, i would suggest using a screw driver or two that fit into the hole(or two)..... hold the orange screen and turn the blade counter-clockwise..

Hope this helps

ok so i am tryin to take apart my juicer to clean it but i can't find a way to do it. Can u help me?

i had the same problem and figured out an easy way to open it without the tool. DO NOT take out the screws. I simply used chop sticks. I put one in each small hole and held the chop sticks in an X and turned the top counterclockwise!
