1. Ammonia filled small bowl placed inside of heating base. Do not pour ammonia directly
into base. Cover and leave overnight. Fumes do the work.

1. 1st: Read user manual!
2. Disconnect from electricity
3. Most crockpot heating bases can neither be immersed nor filled with liquid.
4. Cleaning techniques
a. Fresh spills: wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a few drops dish detergent.
b. Prefer soft (plastic, natural) scrubbers. Steel wool is fast, but may scratch, so
reserve for the worst cases, last resort.
c. Baking soda + vinegar mixture on cloth, sponge, scrubber. Let sit then scrub.
d. Baking soda + lemon juice. Combine, and as it foams apply with
pad/sponge/scourer. Let sit then scrub.
e. Oven cleaner, fume free. Beware: clean off well to reduce cleanser smells when
next cooking.

This guide is the product of my own fairly light and recent experience cleaning cholent pots,
which was frustrating enough to drive me online. Constructive feedback from field testing is
welcome.

Enjoy!
