It is not easily removable it has two screws so forget about removing it i let the chease dried and it could be clean by a dry cloth.

I get a little , wet plastic brush and scrub and then wipe it clean after it has cooled off of course. It cleans easily

Just use a wet towel to clean, and occasionally spray the plates with non stick spray, there will be very little mess because it's nonstick.

Wipe down with a wet wash cloth or paper towels. Spray off with the sink sprayer if needed and let dry. Its easy clean up.

No the plates are not removable. Clean up with a sponge is relatively easy. Makes good waffles, and easy. Like the rotatable iron for ease of use.

I have a second Foreman Grill after many years of using my first one satisfactorily. Both of these grills have removable plates which I washed in the dishwasher. My dissatisfaction was with one I ordered after using my first grill, not realizing it had non-removable plates that couldn't be washed in the dishwasher. I immediately returned it and purchased one that was removable. I am quite satisfied with it.

The plates are not removable . I would not recommend this to anyone . My wife made about 2 or 3 waffles and trashed it . It is cheaply made . The only thing good about this is it's price .

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.

You have to clean each part, is not hard for me to clean but it will take some time cause is not like cleaning one plate, you will be cleaning like 7 different parts.

I just spot clean mine with dish detergent and let dry flat. Still looks great!

I just wash it in hot water and dish soap with a brush. Whatever is clinging to it comes right off, it's amazing. It's really nonstick.

I wash it in warm soapy water. I am not using the dish washer,for just for one item. I have washed it in the dish washer.

I don't have a dish washer. I simply rinse it off, it's very easy to clean, if you don't let food dry on it. As instructed, I dedicated a new vegetable brush to clean it.

We do not recommend washing in the dishwasher, as you should simply wipe out the pan with warm water and paper towel. You can use soap and water also to clean the pan, but no scrubber or sponge with abrasive surface.

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.

I don't have a dishwasher, but I would say yes. But honestly, save your money...these plates are not worth it. I wish I had returned them a long time ago.

The only thing I can suggest is what someone already did - take the underneath plate off, and use distilled water. Hope you did not put anything in the water..that will certain spoil the machine.

We got this as a wedding gift and i regret that I've been remiss in addressing that we haven't been able to use it as none of the accessories fit onto the hand held motor unit. Therefore, I can't speak for how difficult or easy it is to clean. I'd venture to guess that you remove the parts simply and put them into the dishwasher. Seems simple?

You need to clean the plates really well. Just make sure they are TOTALY DRY. I have had several brands of O2 a cleaners they all do this when the plates are challenged. You may have to buy new plates as well. You may be able to buy them here on Amazon. I did.
