Make sure the unit is unplugged, has had time to cool down, and then you can clean with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. If further assistance is needed, we can be reached at (800) 323-9519. We are open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM, EST.

I used a mixture of baking soda and water then ran the cleaning cycle. I used an old cloth to pick up some of the baking soda and water paste then scrubbed the face of the iron while it was still a little warm. Worked like a charm. :)

I know there is grease around the part that inserts into the mixer. It looks like it's there for the mechanical/moving gears. I just got a paper towel and wiped it. But, I haven't seen the grease marks you're seeing. That's the tough part, we can't use water to clean. Maybe just use paper towels to wipe the rollers. Good Luck.

What I did was sanded all the clear coat off. Then wash with soap and let it dry and tape what you don't want liner on.

This is not normal mine has lots of steam coming from it. Make sure the piece that goes over the heating element isn't pluged - just take out and rinse it off. Hope this helps.

I have just steamed across it and use a tooth brush to scrub if its mild. Sometimes I put a little soft scrub with bleach on a tooth brush and scrub.

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

Thanks. I ended up using the little green scrubby pads and that did the trick. I was just worried it would hurt the pan, but it looks as good as new.

Basically, the surface of the material has to be cleaned well. Be sure that the surfaces do not have dirt, dust corrosion...

I used a little rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the heating element in mine about a year ago. It worked for about a year stopped working then has worked fine since I cleaned it. I think using distilled water keeps it from getting gunky around the heating element from minerals, etc in the water.

That sounds like it might be mold. Take all of the parts apart & soak them in bleach water. I disassemble mine before hand washing & let it air dry before reassembling it.

I suggest cleaning it after every use so you don't have a buildup. You can also take a damp microfiber cloth (not dripping wet for obvious reasons) and gently wipe between the bristles to remove any product buildup. This is how I cared for my last dryer last for years until it burnt out. Its a fantastic product...I love mine too!

Hi Margaret: I have not experienced or at least, noticed what you are seeing. It sounds as if you are getting some stone-on-stone abrasion with the granite. My set is currently at home in New Zealand and I am at my other home in France where I have a high-fired ceramic set, however, as soon as I return to New Zealand I will check mine and get back to you. I rinse mine under warm water, dry it and then rub a little olive oil into it rather than putting it into the dishwasher. Also, I use mine mostly for things like ginger, garlic and spices, adding a little olive oil for lubrication.

Run very hot water over one edge of it and use something, preferably plastic, to scrape it until it comes loose. Continue this until the whole thing comes off. It will not come off in one piece. You'll wind up with several small parts that break off. It's also not a fast process. This liner is made to stay in place so it takes a while to get it out. All in all it is totally worth the time and money to use.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I'm surprised to hear yours stains. We've cooked everything in ours and it has absolutely no staining or apparent wear. Maybe you got a defective item?
