Is it easy to remove the grills for cleaning?

My daughter just informed me that the grills are not removable but the unit is very easy to clean. Must seasoned with oil before first use. Loves the waffle iron and the ease of storage.

It was a gift to my daughter. I will contact her tomorrow and let you know. Please try back on 1/9 in PM. Sorry I can not help at this time.

I don't think you can remove the grills. I have never had to remove them to clean them. I just wipe them out with a papertowel. I am not an experienced cook but it is my understanding that, with this type of cookware, it is best to "season" it by just wiping it out rather than using soap and water. But I do use cooking spray with each waffle so the batter does not stick to the grills.

The grills do not remove for cleaning; however, I have had mine for some time now and I spray with low residue butter Pam and they wipe clean easily with just a dry paper towel.

The grills are not removable but all that is really required for cleaning is to wipe down with a paper towel or use something like the OXO panini brush on it. With cast iron it's best to clean it after it cools down which can take a while. Think of this cool down time like boiling water for 20 minutes to make it safe to drink anything inside of the grill has been killed off. The wipe down removes anything that could cause a problem while it is cool and the next time you pre-heat it you have made it 100% food safe or at least as safe as a pan cleaned with soap and water would be.

I'm about to purchase this, and I'll share the same cleaning method on it as I do my george foreman grill... when done, unplug it, and while still hot, wet a couple of paper towels, loosely wring them out so they won't drip, lay them over the open grill, then close it ... it'll 'steam clean' itself, & when you're done eating, open it back up again & use the paper towels to complete the wipe & clean process before storing.

Sorry I wish they did but no, they are not removable. However easy to wipe down with paper towel after use.

I find this grill pretty easy to clean. This kit is very easy to work with.

Yes, very easy. You can remove and wipe/wash the two trays. Also, you can clean the seat as it is made from a plastic material.

My grill is in 4 parts. I take them in to a sink of hot soapy water. The clean up of any grill is work but I don't find it particularly painful. I love to BBQ, so I don't mind going through a little work.

yes they are and the Char-Broil tool that comes with the grill is about the only thing that will clean it well.

Nancy It is very easy the grills are teflon coated along with the drip tray that is easily removed. I just use warm soapy water and a scrubbing sponge

The the back panel have 6 screws so you can unscrew, take off the grill & even the blade if you need to clean thoroughly. Use a vacuum to clean the back vent area.

Not difficult at all. My partner has a trick.....when heating up place a piece of tinfoil over the grill and leave on for 10 minutes. Everything wil easily scrape off with a grill brush.

no they are not removable, but I like the on off switch and temperature control. I set the grill on the side of the counter at an angle so the water runs off as I am cleaning it,and it cleans up very easily. Removable plates would but a terrific feature however.LO

I have found very easy to clean, but I use cooking spray prior to cooking. They are Porcelain coated. Use this grill of our balcony and not only attractive but doesn't very nice job.

I don't know....it is not necessary! Take a dishcloth & wipe the grill off and it is clean. Cleans up very nice, we use it for everything!

No the grill does not have to be removed. Nothing had to be removed. The hardest part is getting the bolts started.

Yes. Otherwise you would not be able to take them out to clean them. I remove the grates to clean them each time I use the grill. Also, I take out the burner covers to clean them and the drip pan guard.

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!
