Clean the base and control panel with a clean damp cloth. Though the pot has a nonstick coating, food residue can burn onto it, making it difficult to remove. If food has burned on, fill pot with warm soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning. If scouring is necessary, use a nonabrasive cleanser or liquid detergent with a nylon pad or brush. 10
