The Juice Machine---1991?

We recently bought this machine at a yard sale. Seemed like a good opportunity to try juicing. However this machine, called "The Juice Machine", made in about 1991 by Hamilton-Beach Proctor Silex came without the instructions.

It appears to have been used some but not a lot. We cannot figure out how to clean it properly. The white top part does not seem to come off so we can get at the underside of the blade to clean it.

Of course it is a centrifugal machine of low power and after reading up on juicers I see it is an inferior machine but might be ok for beginners, us. My wife is a little skeptical of it so I could use some help to get it ready to try out. I searched around the internet but could not find anything on this old machine yet. Probably if we like the results at all we will move to a better quality one. Help!

From Sara:

Hi Frank, frankly I have no idea about this machine too. The top white part should come off to be washed. Try pulling it a little harder as there might be a catch at the bottom that holds it.

Anyway, I'll be posting your question on my site, in case somebody might be able to help. You could also try to contact Hamilton Beach directly to see if their technical department could help.
