Once removed you can empty the tray and remove the grill by lifting it upwards (2) for cleaning.

The cup stand can be removed easily by tilting it upwards one side (3) to free it from the supporting poles each side.

After cleaning the square end of the mixing bowl slides back into the square hole. When in place rotate the green handle to lock it in place. Reconnect the brown hose to the bottom of the mixing bowl. Repeat this process for both mixing bowls.
