Per Shimano's instructions:
1. Tighten the drag all the way down
2. Place the reel where the spool is centered under GENTLY running fresh water and reel for approximately 30 seconds
3. Wipe the reel off with a soft towel and loosen the drag all the way open.
4. Let reel air-dry.
The trick is to keep the reel right side up while under the running water so that you do not flood the internal workings of the reel. I also take my reels in for professional cleanings after approximately 10-12 trips as needed...
