cleaning
Porcelain Coated steel Finish
The outside of this oven is made of high heat rated
porcelain coated steel. To clean, wipe the outside
surfaces with a cloth dampened with water and a mild
dish washing detergent; dry immediately. Do not use
abrasive scrubbers or the finish may become scratched
or damaged. Never clean the oven when it is hot. The
manufacturer recommends cleaning the exterior of the
oven twice yearly or as needed.
Cordierite baking stone
To keep the baking stones free of charred food re-
mains, run the oven on “High” for 10 minutes after
cooking is complete and pizza has been removed.
Most food particles that remain on the stone will burn
off due to the high heat inside the oven. If necessary,
the stone may be removed from the oven occasionally
for a more thorough cleaning. Only when the oven and
baking stone have completely cooled, remove the hood
to reveal the stone. Run it under hot water while scrub-
bing with a brush. Natural stiff bristled brushes are
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use soap
on the stones as it may leave a soapy aftertaste. The
natural properties of the baking stone will cause it to
darken and spot with age – do not attempt to remove
this discoloration. Air-dry the stone and store inside
the oven. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the
baking stone after each use.
Crumb tray
Particles of food are caught in the crumb tray directly
below the oven. Only once the oven has cooled, use a
long handled brush or shop vacuum to clear out burnt
particles. The tray can also be removed with the cover
and stone in place by unscrewing the three thumb
screws and lower the tray. Clean with mild soap and
water. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the
crumb tray after each use.
burner tube
Visually check the burner flames prior to each use.
The flames should be blue. If they are not, clean
burner tubes for insects and nests. A clogged tube can
lead to a fire beneath the oven.
storage
Once cooled and cleaned the oven can be stored out-
side with the rain cover in place or with an optional
fabric cover. We recommend disconnecting the gas
tank before storing inside.
