It looks almost identical to the one i have, the only difference being the shape of the cup the juice is collected in. To dissasemble mine I remove the round metal grate part that spins by pulling straight up on it. It fits fairly tight so it requires some effort and wiggling to remove it. Once its out of the way the plastic top is removed by turning it about an 8th of a turn then lifting off.

Hamilton Beach Proctor Silex Juice Machine by: Anonymous
I recently acquired this same machine and lost the manual. I had the same problem--the top white portion wouldn't come off. So I played around with it and discovered that if you unplug it and then turn the dial to 1, the top portion releases. Again, not sure if this is the correct method, but it worked for me.

I appreciate your help. We're waiting with bated breath for some information on this from anyone. I did send mail to Hamilton Beach. I'm a little afraid to pull too hard on the top for fear of breaking it.
