In the manual it says thoroughly wash the heating tray. YOU ARE NOT TO TAKE IT OUT AND CLEAN IT YOU CLEAN IT WITH A WASH CLOTH. Is the heating tray removable? NO... my heating tray is not moving unless im not pulling hard enough. dO NOT REMOVE WILL BREAK. THE ONLY REMOVABLE TRAYS ARE THE TWO TRAYS ON THE BOTTOM AND IN THE BACK TO GET RID OF THE CRUMBS.

The hearing tray is the black flat piece that goes where you cook the eggs.

The heating tray does not remove. Just clean it in place. After every couple of uses, I usually wipe it clean with a wet paper towel. Hope that helps.

No it isn't removable. Just clean it with soapy water and a sponge after each use.

Better use a mitt, the tray does not slide out automatically. My old one did that, but unfortunately, it bit the dust.

I think you can just lift it, or use a blow dryer to heat it up, then lift. I haven't tried to remove mine.

I would contact Heidi, the owner, about that. It does not sound like it is functioning properly. Is it fully heated up before you use it?

It "should" come out the front from the INSIDE. But the one I received yesterday Could Not come past the lower 2 electric heating elements. My sincere hope is that the replacement Amazon is sending Friday WILL indeed be able to pull out. The model 100 has a tray that is below the heating area and worked very well. Too bad 2.5 yr. of use and the heating elements just died. My fingers are crossed this one works as well as the other one did [until it died].

We've not had this problem. I'm sure I don't need to say it, but perhaps a good filter cleaning would help. Maybe there's some manufacturing residue on it or something like that. I hope you're able to resolve this issue because it truly is a great heater.

Cleaning it is easy, the trick is to dry it off completely before using it again.What I usually do is, let it cool after heated use, wipe it with a wet cloth , the dirtier the wetter the cloth, i have not put them under running water but i guess it could be done if need be. Once clean, dry it with a cloth, let it dry over a cloth, or take it out under sun light to be sure it is dryed out completely. I usually wrapthem in paper towels to keep them dry before heating them again.

After unplugging, while still warm, I use a very damp paper towel to wipe off grease, holding down over crusted parts to soften up. Then a sponge with soapy water. Wipe down and then air dry. Never had a problem. Not necessary to scrape using utensil. Cleaning sounds like a hassle, but this could not be easier!

The trays are not hard to clean, but I don't think this dryer works very well. I have owned two other Nesco dryers with the heating element in the bottom that dried much better. I am very unhappy with this one.

Wow, I did not have this problem with mine at all. If washing with hot water and regular dish detergent doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest soaking it in a solution of white vinegar and cool water (1:1), then washing again.

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.

Mine has a drawer that pulls out and I just rinse it out with warm water. Then insert it back in machine. I don't see any other way to clean it.

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

Clean ups a piece of cake. Just use a wet towel while it's still hot will break up the stuck on grease. Yes there's a drop tray.

It says to wash in warm water with mild soap, so I've been hand washing mine. I imagine the dishwasher would be too hot for it to handle.

Take it fully out and make sure there isn't a collection of grounds at the back of the slot for the tray. That happens if you let it get too full and the grounds pucks get cut off as they tray is coming out of its location. If there is, just get a paper towel of a small brush and clean it out good.
