Cleaning Glass Chamber Problem

#3496

Post by rjcrutcher »

The Kaffeelogic instructions say to soak the glass chamber to clean it thoroughly, which I did. But now there's fluid inside, between the glass chamber and the plastic housing around the glass. How do I get the water out? I don't see how to remove the glass chamber from the housing. Yikes!!! Thanks for any help.

Okay, I'm answering my own question. I just discovered that you can actually take the chamber apart by prying apart the larger black chamber and the bottom ring -- there are 2 glass cylinders that make up the glass part of the chaff chamber. Really challenging. You have to pry off the ring at the bottom of the black part of the chamber with a piece of metal or a knife. At least that's how I had to do it. I could not simply pull the two pieces apart. Somebody needs to include some instructions--ideally a video--on how to do this. It' takes a lot of effort and potentially could result in breaking the chaff collector.

There are some simple diagrams on the wiki site

Shows you what to do, but not how to lever the parts apart

Not sure if you also unscrewed the center piece in the top of the lid holding the metal screen, mine is quite hard to turn.
I clean the screen with ceramic hob cooktop cleaner and a scrubbing brush.
I've also used the ceramic cooktop cleaner and cloth on the center glass tube.
