How to stop the splattering?

What made all the difference for me in my hunt to stop the leaks was to simply do this -- after screwing together the bottom and top of the unit using just normal effort, I would then LOCK the pressure valve in place. I've experienced not even a drop of water leaking when on the burner.

You can adjust the spout height and water level, both of which will control splatter. I also placed rocks and shells in my bowl to control the sound, that helped control splatter too.

Clean the surface with alcohol, tubbing, not the drinking kind. And ince you attach it hold it for a few seconds. It took a couple of times for me too.

Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to it and run it for a few mins; then pour any residual alcohol out. Try not to use water as it will likely leave water spots.

change the direction of the arms and then run water thru it...make sure they are turning in the correct direction in order for it to move forward...I've done the same..... also make sure that the stop underneath it is not triggered/stuck

I have not yet found a way not to spill. I now stand on a chair and wrap a towel around the top to catch the spilling water. It helps.

Yes, the Smooth Start works well! I have experienced no splatter. I just verified the this response by putting it in some water, followed by a flour mix for a crust. George

Someone suggested glass cleaner w/vinegar and that works well for us. I imagine a water & vinegar solution would work well too.

I used a product called Goo off. You can use alittle gasoline on a paper towel.

there's spray cleaners with bleach. a few spritzes, rinse and you're set. (the wash machine doesn't cut it!)

OK. here is a simple solution which I have known for so long. There is a tray underneath the grill. Pour water there before cooking. Then, you will not have a much spatter problem. Be careful though. Sometimes, too much oil gathers in the tray that it might spill over the tray (but it never happened so far). The amount the tray can hold is limited. Just pay attention while cooking the oily meats.

I use formula 409. If it's baked on or burnt on grease, then you will need something stronger like soak it in ammonia for a 24 hr period. Normal greasy splatters will go away with 409 or Dawn dish liquid and VERY hot water.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

Try to use some alcohol prep pad and scrub off the dirt and grime. That is the only way I can think of.

Fill a bowl with rubbing alcohol. Take the glass pieces apart and submerge. Soak. This should help. Some thicker oils are harder to clean. I run lemon through mine after a clean.

I use a cheap paint brush. Be careful of splatter on walls as it will stain.
