What is the proper way to clean the plates?

I have cleaned the plates using an old toothbrush and dish soap or antibacterial hand soap in the kitchen sink, then rinse with hot water and let air dry. It seems to work fine, I have had no problems.

This according to the manual. "Wash the stainless steel screen and ceramic plates using a spray cleaner or detergent. Scrub with a stiff brush. A spray liquid cleaner with ammonia or chlorine may also be used to remove any non-visible adherents. Rinse thoroughly in hot water and dry completely before reinstalling. A hair dryer may be used to dry the plate more quickly." I personally have cleaned mine twice already. In a sink with warm water and dawn dishwashing liquid. I use a toothbrush to scrub both sides, rinse and air dry over night and re install the following day.

From page 6 of the owners manual:To clean plate, turn the unit off and unplugged from outlet. Next, pull ceramic What # is kiln prvplate out of the slot in the rear of the unit. Wash the stainless steel screen and ceramic plate using a spray cleaner or detergent. Scrub with a stiff brush. A spray liquid cleaner with ammonia or chlorine may also be used to remove any non-- visible adherence. Be careful not to drop the plate. Rinse plate thoroughly in hot water and dry completely before reinstalling. A hair dryer may be used to drive the plate more quickly.

A bit of dish detergent and a cloth or sponge works fine...just be sure to rinse well to get soap off.

No they are not. I made the attempt to clean them and discovered it is a bad idea. The plates are connected with wires used to heat them up in such a way that you have to sever the wires to separate the plates. If you follow the insrtuctions and wipe the plates clean as soon as you finish using them the clean up is a snap.

I have put into the dishwasher once without problems but cleaning with a plastic sourer is necessary and to do so with detergent completes the cleaning. I think the plate needs seasoning so I tend not to use a dishwasher.

I just wipe mine with hot water and a bit of dish soap. Be sure to allow to dry it completely before storing it away, or it may start to mold.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

Clean just like any cast iron skillet, wipe off while still warm (NOT hot!). Do not put in the dishwasher, or use any harsh cleaners as that will remove any seasoning of the griddle plate. If there are stuck food particles, you can use a plastic scraper to remove them while it's still warm.

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

Hi,The grill plates do not come off for cleaning. It is not a problem because cleanup is very easy with normal dish cleaning tools...ie JLD Scrubbie is perfect...George Foreman grill sponge is also really good. Both last an amazingly long time.

I use warm water and dawn foaming dish liquid. A mild scrubber is all it takes. Towel dry do not let drip dry. You should be ok after that.

I soak mine in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, then put them in the dishwasher, lol. Not sure what kind of brush could be used. Maybe push a paper towel in one end with a skewer & run it out through the other side? I hope this helps!

Don't put anything in the dishwasher and do NOT use bleach on any of the parts as it will pit and discolor the parts. It doesn't take long to clean them up with soapy water and dry them. The hardest thing to clean is the grinder plate (with all the holes) and that can be cleaned quickly by using your sprayer in your sink. Use a toothpick to dislodge stubborn bits. I store my blades and plates in a Ziploc bag with a small bag of dessicant to absorb moisture. I also wrap the parts in brown paper that prohibits rust. Congratulations you've chosen a great grinder!

No. The plates clean up with a paper towel. It's non stick so it's easy. The grill is a perfect size for one person.

waffle plates have become encrusted with mold because owner was in hospital getting a new heart and could not clean the plates before he went in. What is the best way to clean off the mold and crusty crap on the plates? Can I just wash them under the faucet?

I used dishwasher soap and water - just make sure it is completely dry before adding salt and pepper.
