Don't use easy-off on aluminum parts, fine on cast iron through. Easy-off is a very strong acid that will start corroding aluminum in seconds, once the corrosion process starts it is almost impossible to stop. Don't believe me? Take a can of Easy-off and spray the fancy aluminum wheels on your neighbors car. You can wash it off as quickly as you like, but it will still be to late to save the wheels. Warning: May cause your neighbor to give you multiple injuries.

Edit:
The manual says to use a plastic or wooden scraper. Mineral spirits is cheap, aluminum safe and will clean the head up very nicely.
