ELECTRIC KETTLES

Cleaning Your Kettle

The spotting inside your kettle is not mold or rust. The residue that collects on the surface is called 'limescale'. The interaction between the hot metal and hard water draws calcium, magnesium and other minerals out of the water. The minerals then adhere to the metal. Limescale is not harmful. It can be reduced, but not eliminated, by using filtered water. It can be removed by boiling a mild solution of vinegar in the kettle.

Steps:
1. Fill the kettle with an equal part solution of water and household vinegar and allow to soak for 1 hour.
2. After 1hour, boil the solution in the kettle.
3. Once done boiling, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly.

• Clean out Crumbs Regularly - To ensure safe and efficient operation of your toaster, it's important to clean out the accumulated crumbs frequently. Crumbs that accumulate at the bottom of the toaster can pose a fire hazard or lead to malfunctions. Slide out the crumb tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe the tray clean and make sure to replace it before using the toaster again.

• Avoid Drippy or Coated Foods - To prevent unsanitary conditions and reduce the risk of fire or malfunction, avoid using foods that have drippy coatings or fillings when heating them in the toaster. These substances can drip onto the heating elements, causing damage or creating a potential fire hazard. Stick to plain bread or toastable items without excess coatings or fillings.

• Proper Cleaning of the Exterior - To keep the exterior of your toaster looking clean and shiny, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the toaster is unplugged and cooled down before cleaning. If you use a cleaning solution, apply it to a cloth first rather than directly spraying it onto the toaster. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface or damage the finish.

WAFFLE BOWL / CONE MAKERS

Cleaning and Care Tips for Your Waffle Bowl/Cone Maker

• Before your first use, wipe down all surfaces of the waffle bowl/cone maker with a damp cloth and then dry it. This ensures that any dust or residue from the manufacturing process is removed.
• To maintain the non-stick cooking plates, lightly coat them with a small amount of vegetable oil before each use. This helps to prolong the life of the non-stick surface and ensures easy release of the waffle bowls or cones.
• When cleaning the waffle bowl/cone maker, make sure to unplug it and allow it to cool completely. Use a damp non-abrasive cloth to clean the upper and lower non-stick plates. Avoid immersing the appliance, plug, or cord in water or any other liquid. Wipe the exterior of the waffle bowl/cone maker with a damp cloth as well. Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or using again. Remember to wrap the cord in the cord storage below the appliance and store it in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children.

Maintenance Guide for Your Waffle Bowl/Cone Maker

• After each use, it's important to remove any leftover batter or crumbs from the waffle bowl/cone maker. Use a plastic or wooden spoon to gently scrape off any residue. Avoid using metal utensils as they may scratch and damage the non-stick cooking surface.
• If you're cooking multiple batches of waffle bowls or cones in a session, after the first batch is done, lower the lid to maintain the heat level until you're ready to cook the next batch. This ensures consistent cooking results.
• If you notice any buildup or stubborn residue on the non-stick plates, you can try using a soft brush or sponge with mild dish soap to gently scrub the surface. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before using the waffle bowl/cone maker again.

WAFFLE MAKERS

Waffle Maker Do's & Don'ts

• DO use a non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat the cooking plates with vegetable oil before each use. This helps ensure easy release of the waffles and prevents sticking.
• DO allow the waffle maker to preheat (at least 3 minutes) fully before pouring the batter. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve golden brown waffles.
• DO follow the recommended cooking time provided in your waffle maker's manual (5-9 depending on ingredients and consistency of your batter). Overcooking can lead to dry and overly crispy waffles, while undercooking may result in soft and underdone waffles.
• DON'T overfill the wells with batter. Pour just enough batter to cover the bottom of each well. Overfilling can cause the batter to spill out and make a mess.
• DON'T use metal utensils to remove the waffles from the cooking plates. Opt for plastic or wooden utensils to prevent scratching and damaging the non-stick surface.
• DON'T immerse the waffle maker, plug, or cord in water or any other liquid. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Cleaning Hacks for Your Waffle Maker

• After each use, wipe down the non-stick cooking plates of your waffle maker with a damp non-abrasive cloth to remove any leftover batter or crumbs. For stubborn residue, you can try using a soft brush or sponge with mild dish soap to gently scrub the surface.
• To tackle hard-to-reach areas and ensure a thorough clean, you can use a toothbrush or a small cleaning brush to gently scrub the nooks and crevices of the cooking plates. This helps to remove any trapped debris.
• If you encounter tough, stuck-on batter or residue, try this cleaning hack: Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on a damp cloth and gently rub it on the affected areas. The mild abrasive properties of baking soda can help loosen the stubborn residue. Afterward, wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.
