Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Remove the ceramic pot, lid and any trays, then spray them with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner using the Foamer.

Step 2
Massage foam over all surfaces with a damp Scrubby Pad.

Step 3
Let sit for a few minutes to loosen grease and food residues.

Step 4
Rinse thoroughly under hot water, scrubbing as needed with the Scrubby Pad, then place to one side to allow to dry thoroughly.

Step 5
For the exterior, unplug the appliance and spray Universal Cleaner with the Atomiser. Let it sit for two minutes, then wipe down with a General Cloth until clean and streak-free.

 

Pro tip

To avoid baked-on stains, give your slow cooker a quick wipe with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner straight after cooking, once cooled, before washing as usual.

 

Safety first: Ensure the slow cooker is unplugged before cleaning and completely dry before reconnecting. Avoid spraying solution near or directly on the electrical elements.
