The cooked on oil is the same thing as seasoning on a cast iron pan, so it's fine.
But if you 100% want it gone .. Oven cleaner will take polymerized oil off metal.

You can feel it. If it is sticky it is partially polymerized and probably should be taken off with oven cleaner.
I treat my waffle iron like a cast iron pan and reseason it every once in a while when it loses it's nonstickyness.
