does the lid have too be completely locked in or can we just close it

the lid snaps shut and then you push the button on the side (makes the light come on and starts the fan).

I don't know the answer. However as the system is drying the air around the aid, I assume the tighter the seal, the more efficient the drying process.

The lid will need to be snapped shut in order to power on rather than simply put down. This is a simple maneuver and the user will be able to easily tell when this is complete.

The handle does not lock the lid, but the lid is hinged and fits very tightly. It takes 2 hands to open it. If something is blowing the lid off of this thing, you have bigger problems going on that you need to worry about!

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

I never use the lid. I just know to go check it after 5 minutes. It works fine that way.

The entire lid does come off. I wouldn't advise taking the entire lid apart. You have to push the button to drink from it. There is no locking open position.

It just the top drawers locked when you close and lock the lid! The lower part has one included panel to lock separately.

The lid is spring loaded and stays open till you manually shut it. Just to be sure I got up and tried to pour with the lid open and I had no problem. Just curious why you would want to do this because the steam could and it did not but could get in your face. I hope I was of some help. I personally have had this for at least a year and I am happy with it. Reg.

Yes. when closed and you un- latch to open it open automatic. So when closing you have to push down on lid to close. In other words the lid wont fall shut by its self you have to push down on the lid to close.

There is a tan colored slide lock on both lids. Slide it towards the outside. o me the lock is a waste of time it stays closed without it. The you grab the center wavy plastic part of the lid and turn it so the arrows line up then lift up. Sometimes it gets hard to open so I close it back then try again or try the other lid. If the arrows are lined up you may need to pry it up maybe the store glued it on or something.

It's got a "bayonet" lock. The type where you twist is slightly to lock it. It doesn't work real well, but having the lid come off has never been a problem.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

We have no problem getting the lid off. Simply open and pull up. Our problem is keeping the lid CLOSED!!!!! Until the oil warms up we have to sit something heavy on the lid so it stays closed!!!!! After the oil warms up it stays shut. Thought I'd like this more than I do actually.

John,Yes, the drawers lock when you close the top. However if you'd like the ability to open drawers with the lid closed all you have to do is close the lid with the drawers open, you can then close the drawers... they will not close completely but they will close enough to look as if they're closed. I do it all the time, my grand kids are in my shop often and don't even realize they're open.

Yes you must make sure the lock is off, then, turn the lid using the lid's plastic handles.

I'm not sure what you mean by a lid lock. It has the metal part where your latch hooks to it so it opens a shuts with the handle. There is no lock on it, you just close it and it stays shut.
