What I would do (and have done) is to fill it with a strong solution of hot water and bio washing liquid and leave it for a few hours, shaking it (not too roughly) and turning it at the same time every so often. That should clear the majority of the stuff.I've been soaking ours for days now, there is still hardened stuff on the bottom inside and I have used almost every cleaner known to humanity.
I don't think it's ever been cleaned before, if I can find the instructions I will remove the mechanism and blast it with the pressure washer today.
Hope I don't break it as we are off for the weekend tomorrow and I don't want to be smelling my "business" all weekend.
Once emptied out, put on some rubber gloves, remove the cover & seal and vent and use toilet cleaning wipes and an old toothbrush to rid the mechanism and bottom of the cassette of any residue.
Rinse out a few times then give the seal and vent a good wash in warm soapy water and replace them, smearing some olive oil over the seal to help keep it supple.
