Weston Roma Tomato Press - Manual (Page 4)

Before using the Tomato Press for the first time,
and after every use, the unit must be completely
disassembled and cleaned with hot, soapy water. Rinse
with clear. Dry immediately. The Tomato Press is top-
rack dishwasher safe.
For hard to reach areas, we recommend using a soft
bristle brush.
For cleaning the Screen, it is highly recommended to
wear heavy, sturdy gloves, such as Kevlar Cut Resistant
Gloves; failure to do so may cause personal injury.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To disassemble the Tomato Press, please follow the simple steps listed below:
1. Remove the Juice Chute by gently pulling it straight out from the Base.
2. Remove the Handle, by turning it counter-clockwise until it un-threads from the
Roller Assembly.
3. Reach into the
Hopper to remove the
Roller Assembly. NOTE: DO NOT reach
into the Hopper UNLESS the Handle has
been REMOVED! Failure to follow this
warning may cause severe injury!
4. While holding the
Roller Assembly,
pinch the Roller Fins and slide them out of
the channel. This will also release the Cap,
allowing the Roller Fins and Spring to be
removed from the housing.
5. Disassemble the Roller Fins and Spring.
6. The Tomato Press is now completely disassembled and ready to be cleaned.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To assemble the Tomato Press, please follow these simple steps:

3. Install the Roller Assembly into the Base. Make sure the threaded portion
lines up with the Handle Hole.

Hole and turn the Handle clockwise to secure it to the Roller Assembly.
