Cleaning and Care

A pizza cutter can be used directly on the peel to slice your pizza.

WARNING: Cooked pizza can be very hot. Handle with care.

Caution: Before cleaning appliance, make sure it has cooled down. Do not immerse body or the cord in any liquid.

1.Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

2.Make sure the oven is unplugged and the timer is in the OFF position.

3.Do not use abrasive cleansers, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the pizza oven, before cleaning.

4.To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid detergent. Never use harsh abrasives as these could damage the oven surface.

5.To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked- on grease, soak the tray in warm soapy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.

6.Remove the wire rack and hand wash with warm soapy water; it can also be washed in the dishwasher.

7.To clean the wire mesh and pizza peel, hand wash with warm soapy water and let dry.

8.To clean the pizza stone, allow it to cool before cleaning. To remove baked-on foods, scrape with a spatula and rinse in warm water. Do not soak or clean with detergent or soapy water as the stone may absorb the taste and smell of the detergent. Let the stone air-dry completely before your next use. The pizza stone is NOT dishwasher-safe.
