How to Clean a BELLA 3-in-1 Mini Maker

[Catherine]

Keeping your BELLA 3-in-1 Mini Maker clean is key to its longevity. Always unplug the appliance and let it cool before cleaning. Begin by removing the cooking plates; press the upper plate removal latch and pull the plate out, and do the same for the lower plate using its release button. You can then brush the non-stick plates with a heat-proof brush or cloth. For a more thorough clean, wash the plates in hot, soapy water—they are also top-rack dishwasher safe. Always use plastic or wooden utensils to avoid damaging the heating plates. For the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Stainless steel polish can be used occasionally on the outer housing. Avoid abrasive pads or steel wool. If batter hardens, apply a little oil, let it sit for 5-7 minutes, and wipe clean. Ensure the appliance is completely dry before storing it, and remember never to submerge the main unit in water or place it in the dishwasher.
