CLEANING AND CARE
A few easy steps to keeping your Pizzelle Baker looking and working like new:
1. Always allow the baker to cool before cleaning and always unplug it from the
wall outlet. There is no need to disassemble the baker for cleaning. Never
immerse the baker in water.
2. To clean the non-stick cooking grids, wipe the off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
If any food is baked onto the grids and is difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil
onto the hardened food. Let sit overnight until the food softens, and then wipe off.
3. Use only wood, nylon or plastic utensils on the cooking grids. Metal utensils will
damange the non-stick surface.
4. Wipe the outside of the baker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside
with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. Do
not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
