CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, ALWAYS ensure the pizza oven is unplugged from the electrical
outlet before assembling, relocating, cleaning or storing.
The pizza oven should be cleaned regularly for optimal performance. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of
fire hazard and electric shock. Before cleaning the pizza oven, check to see that the timer control knob is in the
OFF/0 position, and then unplug the oven from the electrical outlet. Allow the pizza oven to cool completely
before cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT use the dishwasher to clean any of the accessories which are included with the pizza oven.
a. Exterior Surface: Occasionally wipe the outside of the pizza oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NEVER immerse the oven in water or any other liquids. DO NOT use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleaners
on the exterior surface of the pizza oven.
NOTE: DO NOT immerse the base of the unit in water or any other liquid. The base contains the electrical
components of the appliance. The lifespan of the product depends on how well it is cleaned and maintained after
every use. ALWAYS follow the care and maintenance instructions. NEVER use any abrasive cleaning products on
the appliance to maintain its original finish.
b.
Baking Rack: Wash the baking rack with a hot, soapy cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. If necessary, clean the
wire portion of the rack with a nylon mesh pad to remove any food residue. The baking rack face panel may be
wiped with a damp cloth and wiped dry with a soft cloth or towel. DO NOT immerse the baking rack face panel
or its handle in water or any other liquids, as the water or liquid may enter the interior of the panel and become
trapped inside.
NOTE: Dry thoroughly before reinserting the baking rack into the oven. NEVER operate the pizza oven with the
oven door open.
To fold the baking rack handle in for compact storage, press the handle release button and turn the handle in
towards the pizza oven.
c.
Crumb Tray: To prevent the kitchen countertop from being damaged, the pizza oven should be operated
with the crumb tray installed and cleaned of excess food. To open the crumb tray for cleaning, tip the pizza oven
backwards and then hold the oven so that it is in an upright position. Pull down on the crumb tray knob located
on the underside of the pizza oven and then swivel the tray towards you.
While holding the pizza oven in an upright position, wipe the crumb tray and the interior of the pizza oven with a
damp, soapy cloth. If necessary, use a nylon mesh pad to remove stubborn stains.
NOTE: DO NOT use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the crumb tray.
Dry the crumb tray and pizza oven thoroughly and return the tray to its closed position. While pushing down on
the knob, insert the crumb tray back into the oven.
d.
Heating Elements: DO NOT wipe the heating elements as they are self-cleaning.
