Close up the case and lock it and just rinse and soak the outside of the case with water and store opened. If the case was used in salt water you may want to soak it for a hour to dissolve all the salts off the case. Do not really need to clean the inside the camera case especially the area where the lens of the camera faces. If the seal is still moist with the grease leave it. Take a qtip to remove any debris on the seal if required. If seal is dry add drop of that oil/grease to relube the seal.

I love mine. And I don't soak it when I use it. I just wipe it with a damp s=ponge and dry right away and treat it with food quality oil. Good luck and m=erry Christmas=20

Grease and is really visual. You don't want to use any ruff material. I do a grease cleaner then go over it with baby oil if you want it to look like new. Yep baby oil I sad it olive oil work to to don't get any streeks

o-rings and plastics will last longer if you avoid using petroleum lubricants, I would use silicon grease.

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

Any multi-purpose grease will work fine. It does not need to be packed with grease. Probably 5, or 6, squirts with the grease gun is plenty.And then every 3, or 4 months.

Clean ups a piece of cake. Just use a wet towel while it's still hot will break up the stuck on grease. Yes there's a drop tray.

Always clean the fryer after use. Carefully pour the oil into a glass jar to store and strain out any residual food that may be in the oil.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

I have not had any problems with grease clogging. I burn mine full tilt after I cook for about 10 minutes, don't forget it. That should take care of the grease.Don't try to clean it while its hot, scrapes the coating off of the grill.

I keep mine in the frig. I think it will last a long time. It's mostly peroxide.

Have not used mine enough to have this problem. If build up includes grease, I.would clean. Otherwise,it's yourCall.

Ours is 10 years old. We cleaned it an repacked it and it is working like new. Someone else suggested replacing a gear and gasket. That sounds like a good plan. Just be careful when you take it apart and don't lose any parts in the old grease. Take the old stuff out carefully.

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

Warm water, a little dish soap, and elbow grease - small amounts of soap go a long way. Wring and let dry. It helps to wash these at least every few gun cleans, instead of waiting to let it get completely caked and greasy.

After unplugging, while still warm, I use a very damp paper towel to wipe off grease, holding down over crusted parts to soften up. Then a sponge with soapy water. Wipe down and then air dry. Never had a problem. Not necessary to scrape using utensil. Cleaning sounds like a hassle, but this could not be easier!
