Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your oven.
- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely.

- Pro-Heat Pan & Accessory Frame: These are dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water.

- Pellet Box: Periodically empty any ash from the pellet box once cooled.
For long-term storage or protection from elements, consider using a compatible outdoor oven cover.
