How do I clean the top inside? I use it as a broiler and don't know what to use to clean it.

I unplug it and take a paper towel with just a bit of water and dishsoap on the towel and wipe it down. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I never use the broiler setting why not call the company customer service and check their website too.

Unplug unit and allow it to cool to room temperature before very carefully and gently wiping all inner surfaces with a soft cloth (do not use paper towels, as paper residue can cause shorting of heating elements), moistened with hot water and wrung out. Repeat until all food residue is removed. Allow to dry, and wipe carefully with dry cloth to remove any residue.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

i don't clean the inside. I just leave it in the window. it still works after three years. if you were supposed to clean the Styrofoam there would be a way to get to it.

I haven't cleaned it. You would need to unscrew the front grid, but it doesn't look too difficult.

I sprayed it with cooking spray before use, and the food was oiled. I believe I soaked it in water after use and put it into the dishwasher. No problems; it came out clean.

I have used dishwasher and by hand, cleans up well. Put a dish under this though because depending on how juicy the chicken is, it will over flow or be right at the rim.

Thank you all for your responses. So far I've tried chicken and meat. I did try to push to the food to the bottom and remove any air voids but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as I expected.

Try scrubbing it with steel wool or a pumice stick. I use them as my final effort for cleaning things. If they don't work, return it or throw it away.

Honestly, I have used a paper towel to the inside of the bowl each time i fill it... other than that the scaling i have not found out how to clean off the inside without taking it apart...

I hand wash mine, it would probably need to go on the top rack if there was room!

Fortunately, I have some VERY recent info on that rack :) I ruined mine...by I guess overheating it in the broiler or putting it in the dishwasher. Normally, I use the pan for baking/grilling etc and it is super for single or small servings. But, I used it to grill hotdogs and accidentally left it in the oven and next day went to preheat oven and the rack was a mess....as the plastic or whatever coating on it half melted and or came off in places. If you put it in hot oil I think it will ruin it. It is definitely not stainless steel but a metal with a black coating looks like vinyl. Hope this helps.

I never thought about cleaning it. I believe you can brush it out. My son has one and he's the neat one. I just like it very much and use it every day. I can cook, but I considering brushing and cleaning explitives which should be deleted.

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

With a stainless steel inside, hot water and a cloth should be used to clean it. Any type of a brush could scratch it.

I just rinse it off with water after i get done using it. Just make sure all the little pieces of food aren't on it cuz then it takes some scrubbing:)

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.
