There are various fryer cleaners or degreasers that can be used. In most cases, the fryer is drained and wiped out, filled with water, and the appropriate amount of cleaner is added. Usually, the fryer is turned on and the cleaning solution is boiled for a time. Follow the directions for the cleaner. If heated, be careful that it does not boil over. A nylon scrub brush can be used if necessary but not metal scrubbers or utensils. Repeat if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use protective gloves when working with fryer cleaners and be careful not to get the cleaner on painted surfaces, aluminum depending on cleaner's instructions.

SOURCE: not sure how to clean heating element

Yes you can get it wet, but make sure it is dry before you turn it on. If the element is detachable, that is good. If not, you may not be able to put it under water because water could get into the electrical components. There should be a caution tag on it that tells you if you can put it in water. One thing you can consider is drain the oil and put in water with a cleaning agent and then turn it on and let it come to a boil, then shut off and do this several times. This will remove a lot of the build up on it.
