Keeping your Elite Gourmet EWM-2207 waffle maker clean is essential for both its performance and longevity. Here's how to do it safely and effectively: First, always unplug the waffle maker and let it cool completely before you begin. Once it's cool, remove any loose crumbs by gently brushing them away from the waffle grids. Next, wipe down the grids with a paper towel or a damp cloth to absorb any excess oil or butter. Be sure to avoid anything abrasive that could scratch the non-stick coating. For the exterior, simply wipe it with a damp cloth; never submerge the waffle maker in water or any other liquid. If batter gets baked onto the grids, try this: pour a small amount of cooking oil over the hardened batter and let it sit for about five minutes to soften it. Then, wipe it away with a paper towel or soft cloth. Remember not to use metal utensils when removing waffles, as they can damage the non-stick surface. Finally, store the waffle maker closed and use the cord wrap on the bottom for easy cord storage.
