How do I clean my BLACK+DECKER WMD200B Rotating Waffle Maker effectively?

[VonBrooklyn]

Keeping your BLACK+DECKER WMD200B Rotating Waffle Maker clean helps maintain its optimal performance. Here's a simple guide to cleaning it safely: First, always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Next, wipe the cooking surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth. For stubborn, cooked-on food, gently use a plastic bristle brush or a nylon mesh pad; avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners to protect the non-stick coating. Clean the handles after each use, too. For the exterior, wipe with a damp or soapy sponge or cloth, and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never submerge the waffle plates in water. Instead, once cooled, brush off any crumbs from the grids, and cotton swabs can be useful for cleaning between the ridges. Following these steps will help you keep your BLACK+DECKER WMD200B Rotating Waffle Maker in great shape.
