After the third time that I used my WSM, I got little flakes falling from the inside of the lid, onto the cooking grates. Since then, I have given the inside of the lid a quick wipe with a paper towel, soon after I finish smoking, while it is warm and moist. Everything I have read recommends that you clean the cooking grates after every use, with crumpled aluminum foil or wire grate cleaning tool. It is easy to do. I like to wipe the water bowl. I don't get it shiny clean, but I don't line it with foil and it usually gets a lot of grease drippings in it, which I like to remove. I don't know how much harm would come if you didn't wipe the bowl. After the third time that I used my WSM, I got little flakes falling from the inside of the lid, onto the cooking grates.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

This pipe was a gift for my father. I haven't the faintest idea. He's never mentioned having a problem cleaning it, though.

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

the spinners can come apart - I use a small wrench or part of pliers to hold the small plastic U's and pull them off - then clean it all in peroxide and reassemble (again using the wrench or pliers) - the tubing needs to be cleaned with a small tube brush - several kinds available - the ones sold for baby/toddler sip cups work well or there are some tube brushes that are sold for coffee makers that are about the right size too - or the brushes to clean glass and metal straws - again use peroxide.

Bit of dish soap and steaming hot water. Shake it up and pour out like you would pour out coffee. Also use a baby bottle brush if needed to get to the very bottom if stuck on gunk. Key is to rinse immediately with water after use to avoid smells.

Either the lid is not on tight or the cover on the spigot is not on correctly or does not fit properly. I hate to admit I have left my favorite teakettle on the stove at least 6 times with the whistle open and melted them. I always buy another at once. No other teakettle serves me so well. I never had a problem with a whistle unless I was the one who erred.

Not too hard to clean but it is important to throughly clean it regularly, after each use if possible. The hardest part to clean is the kettle but again with consistent maintenance it's not bad. The unpopped kernels fall into a tray that slides right out to dump, and the rest just needs wiped out. We use soapy water on a cloth then wipe it out with a wet cloth & let it air dry. Hope that helps

I know this sounds strange but we have not had to clean it. We still have the kettle but the bottom fell off and we had to wire it back on. Plus the top is not secure so you have to hold it when you pour. Very disappointing for such an expensive item.

as a suggestion, heat the kettle add water let it steam the kettle, which also steams the interior glass, empty the hot water in a hot water safe container, wipe the inside kettle and sides dry -- easy as pie, er, popcorny:-) like steaming a cup of hot water in your microwave (the steam loosens the gunk) -- then wipe clean/dry, etc.

First obviously you must remove the one that is already there. The white retaining collar piece is threaded and unscrews from your tub spout. Once that piece is out clean the fine threads inside the throat of the tub spout with an old toothbrush.. It will make reinstall easier. Next unscrew the knob and the diverter should come right out of your tub faucet. Take note of the way the gaskets are oriented on the diverter as you remove it. Unscrew the knob on the new diverter and place your gaskets on top of the diverter. Install the diverter into the tub spout. Then screw the white retaining collar by screwing it back into the tub spout. Once you reinstall the knob you should be good to go. First obviously you must remove the one that is already there.

I usually soak the pan in hot soapy water and use a vegetable brush to clean mine. The other suggestions that people have offered sound good, too. If you continue to have problems, contact Le Creuset for additional ideas.
