The first time you use the waffle maker, brush cooking oil on to the grid to season the nonstick surface. During initial use, you might notice a slight odor as well as a bit of smoke rising from the grid. This is normal, and common to many small cooking appliances.
Things You Will Need
-
Unplug the waffle maker from the outlet. Leave the lid open and allow the grids to cool completely.
-
Brush crumbs from the grids with a dry nylon scrubber. Absorb excess cooking oil with a dry paper towel.
-
Wipe the grids with a wet kitchen cloth.
-
Remove any remaining dried-on batter by pouring a little cooking oil on to the grids. Leave on for five minutes. The batter will soften for easy removal. Blot dry with a paper towel.
-
Clean the exterior of the waffle maker with a soft, dry cloth.
