Maintenance and cleaning

Frame
Disconnect the appliance and allow the iron plate to cool down before cleaning.
Clean the frame with a sponge soaked in warm water and a liquid detergent.
Any stubborn stains can be removed by using a special industrial product.
Never use abrasive products or metal brushes to clean the frame.
Do not clean the appliance by immersing or with a water spray.
Disassembling the iron plate
• Let the iron plate cool down before disassembly.
• A screwdriver is required to loosen the two screws.
• Disassemble the iron plate as shown below:

Iron plate
When making Poffertjes, a little oil must be added to the iron surface:
•
greasing the irons with a food-safe brush before using the appliance,
• fat may be present in the batter depending on the recipe.
These fats will gradually add to the initial seasoning. It is important that the seasoning does
not become too thick because:
• it acts as an insulator and disrupts the cooking process,
• it detaches or flakes off giving the impression that the metal is disintegrating.
Cleaning with water and regular brushing will prevent this phenomenon (do not be afraid to
scratch the metal).
If this crust becomes too thick making any cleaning or brushing ineffective, the iron can be
stripped by sanding or pyrolysis.
After these operations, it is necessary to repeat the seasoning using the method for a new
iron plate.
Note: Never abruptly cool an iron that is hotter than 100°C (for example, by immersing it in
water) – the thermal shock could break your appliance.
