How do you clean it? Are the plates detachable for cleaning?

They are not detachable, but the non stick surface makes it easy to clean, just don't submerge it in water, I use a Dobie cleaning pad on all nonstick surfaces, then just rinse it under the faucet.

I didn't get instructions for cleaning it either, however, it is easy to take apart and just wash in regular dish water.

No, the plates are NOT removable for washing. However, I find that they can be easily cleaned using a damp dishcloth and a clean toothbrush, if necessary. With the exception of recipes containing chocolate (chocolate, not cocoa powder), I have not had anything stick to the plates when I prepare them according to the directions that came with the press.

I've had mine for 4 1/2 years, made many hundreds of waffles in it and never had to clean the plates. I add less than 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil to my batter for each waffle, which no doubt facilitates the batter not sticking to the plates. I haven't always but lately sprinkle seeds on top the the batter before closing the lid (usually sesame on top, sometimes sunflower on the bottom plate before dropping in the batter). Either way, I have no need to clean the plates. You could say they are self-cleaning.

Yes, it is quite easy to clean as the popping plate separates from the base. It is supposed to be dish washer safe but the bottom of the plate is bare aluminum which does not do well in the dishwasher. I clean it with soap and water.

No the plates do not come out but quite easy to clean. I use mine all the time because it can take two toasted sandwiches, but also have cooked steak, bacon and eggs on it.

In the years I've had this I"ve never done that. Since you asked the question and I'm sort-of-fixit person, I looked it over. It should be easy to do. there are three small phillips screws that need to be removed from each plate. The plates should just drop out once removed.

If you are asking how you remove the yellow disc hanger, I would just soak the plates in water and the glue should loosen up. If you just want to clean the plates without removing the hanger just use a wet cloth to clean the front surface.

I have never tried to take mine fully apart. I am afraid the small tabs that hold the two halves together would break off. I haven't had any problems cleaning it as long as it is unlocked.

This is the standard model - no removable grill plates. This is not a problem for me, since it is easily cleaned with a damp sponge and wiped with paper towels, given the nonstick surfaces. This is the third of this type I have had, over a number of years, because the non-stick surfaces do eventually wear out.

There is a small wooden doll included that you shape the pastry around, after you pull off the plate. No, the plates are not removable but they clean up very easy with a warm damp cloth.

There is a plastic plate on the top. Turn off the unit then Lift the plate up then grasp the top of the collection plates and lift it out. It just slides in and out. Clean(wipe down) the collection plates with a damp cloth then let dry before replacing into the unit.

It is just with the grids, they do not pop out for cleaning and are not reversible for the flat plates. I love mine.

You can't take the plates out, what we do is just let it cool down and wipe it down with a wet paper towel.

Hi. You can use all kinds of polish, preferably use polish with dense consistency so you achieve a better results. When you clean the plate look like new. Polish remover doesnt ruin it.

They are super easy to clean. I just use hot water and rinse, wipe out. They come clean very easy.

The cooking plates are coated with non-stick cooking surface, therefore little cleaning is required. We advise to simply wipe cooking plates over with a damp cloth.
