Does it need to be clean up using crepe block?

No, you don't use the crepe block on the leather strop. Only on the sand papers... The leather shouldn't need much clean up. You add the abrasive media periodically to charge it for polishing.

Have never had the need to use the block , find that buffing my chisels and planer blades cleans the surface off, and have to renew the buffing compound regularly, hope this helps, please take care

Hi Adi, the crepe block is used to clean the metal particles out of the grit covered glass disks not the leather covered one. The leather disk gets "charged" with the honing compound.

No water or soap. Use a clean paint brush. Brush away crumbs and wipe away flour dust with clean cloth.

Yes, I have used the crepe side as well as the grill side. I use just a little oil while it is heating and haven't had any issues with sticking. The small plates that are placed under the grill don't need anything to avoid sticking. After use, I wash in hot water and wipe with a small bit of oil. It's a fun way to prepare a meal with family and friends.

YES, it needs to be removed, it was a bit hard too. Did not know this before so I didn't have good tools to use for the removal.

I agree with one of the other answers. I would run a traditional patch or bore swab through it after cleaning is complete.

The oven doesn't really get dirty but the stone does. A simple wipe down of the stone does the trick. I only use a paper towel so it's really easy.

No. The heating element probably won't take constant use (and it would take too long to reheat it from a cold start). Additionally, the size of a commercially prepared crepe is larger than what the 13 inch Krampouz can turn out. Mostly its the heating element; it is not commercial grade. I'd invest in a true commercial grade crepe maker.

The instructions say that the area should be dry and free of debris. So i would suggest giving it a good wipe down.

Yes crock removes for easy cleanup. The little warmer does not. I love mine. I bought 4 of them. I give them five stars !!

Good question. The instructions say you should remove the bellows for cleaning. I can't see any way to do that. But after a year of not having cleaned it, I havn't been poisoned so I'm not too concerned.

Try the suggestions in this link. I've never had that problem with my board. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6653868/list/how-to-clean-and-care-for-your-butcher-block

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did just to be safe. I boiled mine for a few minutes before using it the first time and wash it out each time after with hot, soapy water.

I have this block, If I had Black stains on it I would take some Fine sand paper and see if I couldn't buff it out. Then wipe it down and re-oil. Never use water on your board Just a lightly dampened cloth.

Absolutely! I have many cast-iron pans and when I want to completely remove the 'seasoning', I place my pan in the oven and turn on the self-cleaning cycle. That's over 900˚ for 3 hours.It's very difficult to ruin a cast iron pan. Even if you see rust - which is always the fault of the person not the pan - don't toss the pan. Just pop it in the oven at the highest setting possible or self-clean. All that junk will bake off and you will be left with a gray pan. That's just the raw material. Rub a thin film of lard, crisco, or even flaxseed oil and bake for 1 hr at 400˚. All fixed. Absolutely!

I'd use compressed air to clean it rather than washing it, just need to remove any larger particles of dirt and grit that it may have picked up.

I cleaned it before I put the salt and pepper in and I jut put soapy water in and shook it. I think you would need a little brush to get any build up off the sides.
