Cleaning the interior

Clean the appliance after use. Note that preparing high-fat foods, such as meats, may cause splatter and deposits. Do not operate when internal surfaces are excessively contaminated with grease build-up. Grease can spontaneously ignite at high temperatures. Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from power. Do not spray any kitchen cleaner inside the oven, or allow water to enter the vents on the oven door housing.

• a. Using both hands, carefully remove the pizza stone. See step 7.4 for stone cleaning instructions.

• c. Use a damp cloth to wipe debris forward along the sides of the oven. Try not to push any toward the lower cooking element. Vacuum any residue that falls into the centre of the oven.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe down the oven shelf, walls and inside of the oven door.
  If necessary, soak the oven shelf in hot, soapy water and scrub gently to remove grease deposits, or place it in the dishwasher on a ‘normal’ cycle.
• e. Dry immediately.

Cleaning the glass door

Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from power. Do not allow water or excess moisture to enter the door vent.

• a. Remove grease using dry paper towels or a dry cloth.
• b. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth. Dry immediately.

Cleaning the pizza stone

Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from power. Never use chemical cleaners or soaps on the pizza stone. Never expose your pizza stone to water. There is no need to wash the pizza stone. Its appearance will change over time.

• e. Turn the oven on at full power for 45 minutes without cooking. At high temperatures, the pizza stone will self-clean, and any food residue or debris will turn to ash.
  Very high temperatures can sometimes cause food to burn, which can produce smoke and/or steam, which will vent from the rear.

  You can use both sides of your pizza stone. Turn it over between uses (once cool) and burn off any stubborn residue from underneath the next time you cook.

Filter removal and cleaning

When the Clean filter indicatorilluminates, it’s time to clean the filter. Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from power.

• b. Soak the filter in hot, soapy water and scrub gently to remove grease deposits, or place it in the dishwasher on a ‘normal’ cycle.
  Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing it inside the oven.
•  Position the filter inside the oven and twist counterclockwise a quarter turn to lock it into place. You’ll feel when it’s in the correct position.
