I have a Cuisinart Pro Classic.
There is a clear top that has an oval tube on it. Inside this oval tube is
another clear oval tube that locks down and if not locked, slides up and down.
For the life of me, I CAN'T FIGURE OUT how to get this tube out for cleaning.
How do I do it???

If it's what I think it is, it doesn't come apart.

There is the oval tube that is molded into the lid. That is just open. You
place the food inside this tube, then fit the 2 piece part described below
over it, lock it in place, and turn on the machine.

Then there is the part that fits into the oval tube that is molded into the
lid. It consists of two parts. And outer tube and and an inner piece. The
inner moves up and down inside the outer tube. Is that the part that you
are talking about? And the outer tube has a piece of plastic that fits into
a slot on the lid so it locks in place and allows the motor to work. Right?

If that's the piece you are talking about, no, it does not come apart.

Just soak it in hot soapy water, it has openings for the water to go through
to all areas in it. Then rinse in hot water and let air dry. Or if you have
a dishwasher, it can be done in there.

The two-piece oval tube (the pusher assembly) can be removed from the
lid by pushing in on the tab located at the rear of the bottom tube
(towards the rim). Once remove from the lid, the pusher assembly (the
pusher and the sleeve with white locking tab) cannot be further
disassembled.
