We wash the multicooker bowl
This is a removable cooking container, where cooking takes place. Inside, it is covered with non-stick compounds, which can be easily damaged if mishandled. Therefore, the bowl must be washed carefully, it is advisable not to use a dishwasher or choose a neat washing mode.
For washing by hand, do not use hard metal brushes and sponges that can leave scratches and damage the coating. The bowl must be washed using a neutral dish detergent. You can rub the inside of the bowl a little with a soft sponge or cloth. To remove dried food, liquid gels can be used to effectively remove residual grease without harming the non-stick coating. A clean bowl, especially its outer part, must be wiped dry after crushing.

Cleaning the bottom of the multicooker

Keep the heating element clean. You can use baking soda to remove grease and deposits. To do this, dip a damp cloth in baking soda and wipe the heating element with it. Finish cleaning by wiping dry with a clean cloth.
We wash the lid of the multicooker
To wash the cover, you must first remove it. Unfortunately, some models have a non-removable cover. Using gel for dishes, with the help of soft microfiber, it is cleaned of carbon deposits and grease. Wipe dry and fasten back.
The fixed lid is much more difficult to clean. It will take more time and skill to get to the rubberized part. To wash it, use the steam mode. A glass of water is poured into the bottom of the bowl with lemon juice added. For 15 minutes, the multicooker turns on in the "Steam cooking" mode. In this way of cleaning, you can not only clean from grease and carbon deposits, but also remove an unpleasant smell in a slow cooker... Next, the multicooker is washed in rather uncomfortable conditions. Its body is wrapped in a plastic bag, the lid remains outside. By tilting the body, you can clean the inside of the lid surface from dirt and condensation. It is necessary to act carefully and correctly, without getting the opening unit wet!
