Skip to step 2 if you completed creating waffles and the appliance is still hot. Plug in and turn on your waffle maker. Before you begin cleaning, let your waffle maker fully heat up. Warming it loosens the oil and batter, making it much simpler to clean.

2. Turn it Off

Unplug the waffle maker only once it has completely heated up. You want it to be hot, but it’s not heating up.

3. Wet And Fold Your Paper Towels

Folding the Paper Towel

Fold two sheets of paper towels across the middle without splitting them. You can use warm water to dampen the paper towels. Make careful you only lightly moisten them, not flood them.

To form a square, fold them in half.

4. Place A Wet Paper Towel In The Waffle Maker

Preparing a Paper Towel to Get Wet

Open your Dash Mini and carefully place the moist paper towel square on the bottom waffle plate. Be cautious not to let your fingertips contact the hot plates.

Close your waffle machine and start streaming! You’ll see the wet paper towel sizzling on the plates, which means it’s functioning. Allow your Dash Mini to sizzle for 5 minutes. The steam will release all the grease, and we’ll be able to clean it away quickly.

5. Remove the Damp Paper Towel

After heating your waffle maker, open it up and carefully peel the paper towel with tongs or your hands. Check that the plates are not scorching hot before beginning to clean by wiping around the edges and with the same paper towel. The grease and muck should be easily removed.

6. Make Use of a Toothbrush

A toothbrush is your magic wand if there is still detritus in the nooks and crannies. Wet the bristles again and wipe around for a more thorough clean.

7. Using a Clean Damp Paper Towel, Wipe Off Your Dash Mini

While the interior of your waffle maker is still moist, soak a clean paper towel in warm water and wring off the excess. Go over your waffle maker once more to give it a last clean.

8. Cleaning the Dash Mini’s Exterior

Apply a little amount of dish soap to a moist paper towel. Please go over the outer sections of your waffle maker without getting it too mushy. Again, if there is debris on the exterior, use a toothbrush to remove it gently.
