Care and Maintenance

  1. Always Unplug: Ensure the oven is unplugged from the power outlet and completely cooled before cleaning.
  2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, which can damage the finish. The wrinkle black paint finish is designed to resist oil stains and fingerprints.
  3. Pizza Stone Cleaning: The pizza stone is removable for easy cleaning. Scrape off any excess food residue with a plastic scraper. For stubborn stains, allow the stone to cool completely, then gently scrub with a stiff brush and warm water. Do not use soap or detergents on the pizza stone, as it is porous and can absorb chemicals, affecting future food taste. Air dry completely before next use.
  4. Interior Cleaning: For the interior, once cooled, wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid direct contact with heating elements.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store the oven in a clean, dry place. The flip-up design allows for space-saving storage.
