A little refresher (experimentation) later...

Take the cover (the part with the slide) off the handle.  Inside you'll 
see a white bar with two inset steel pins that hold the hooks that hold 
the platter hub.  The handle pivots on plastic parts at each side; take 
them out.  That lets you slide the whole handle, when it's in the down 
position, about 1/4" towards the edge.  Do that, making sure the white 
plastic bar moves with the handle, and it will release the pins from the 
hooks and the platter will fall out (so do this with it resting on a 
safe surface - NOT in the lid, or the hub's magnets will stick it to the 
lid).
