WAFFLE PLATE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Clean daily and diligently; doing so will ensure that your waffle maker works properly and continues to work well over time. How to Clean Waffle Plates Once you have finished baking each day, turn the switch to the OFF position and remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow plates to cool before cleaning. Be certain plates have cooled completely before cleaning Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning. Brush crumbs from grooves and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the plates by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the batter to soften and will make it easier to remove. To help remove oil buildup and batter residue, place a damp paper towel in between the waffle plates and close the lid. Allow to sit for a few minutes. To clean exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
