7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ooni Volt 2.
7.1. Cleaning the Pizza Stone
- Allow the oven and stone to cool completely before cleaning.
- Scrape off any excess food residue with a brush or scraper.
- The stone can be flipped over between uses to burn off residue from the underside during cooking.
- Do not use soap or water on the cordierite stone, as it is porous and will absorb liquids.
7.2. Cleaning the Oven Interior and Exterior
- Ensure the oven is unplugged and cool.
- Wipe the interior with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Regularly clean around the door seals to prevent residue buildup.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not powering on | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; damaged cord. | Check power connection; try a different outlet; inspect cord for damage. |
| Oven not reaching desired temperature | Insufficient preheating time; ambient temperature too low. | Allow longer preheat time; ensure oven door is fully closed. |
| Pizza burning on top/bottom | Incorrect temperature setting; uneven heat distribution. | Adjust top/bottom heating balance in custom mode; reduce overall temperature; rotate pizza more frequently. |
