CLEANING THE COOKING CHAMBER
1. Before cleaning the cooking chamber, remove the baking stone and the fire bricks.
ATTENTION
Do not allow the oven to build up with stains and grease. It is much harder to clean an oven that has
been neglected for a long period of time, and much easier to perform maintenance on a regular basis.
2. The cooking chamber should be cleaned periodically with products that are suitable to stainless steel and glass.
DO NOT use abrasive products or chemical cleaners, as these could scratch all surfaces and remove the surface
protection.
3. Always clean off residue from cleaners and follow by drying the walls entirely with a soft, microfiber cloth.
4. To eliminate the more persistent stains, it is advised to run the oven at its maximum temperature in order to burn
off any residue.
5. When the oven has cooled completely it will be necessary to remove the residual dust with a damp sponge.
CLEANING THE EXTERNAL PAINTED SURFACES
Clean regularly the external painted surfaces of the oven, to avoid surface contamination and rust. Do not use
abrasive or corrosive products, as these may cause damage to the paint. Clean the exterior of the oven with a
mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces, using a damp cloth. Always follow by drying the surfaces with a
microfiber cloth.
ATTENTION
If the oven gets scratched exposing the steel, immediately apply high temperature touch-up paint,
available at your local hardware store.
CLEANING THE FIRE CHAMBER AND ASH TRAY
It is necessary to empty the ash from the ash tray at the end of every cooking cycle. When the embers are fully
extinguished and the oven has cooled completely, remove the ash tray and support grid and empty contents
into a heavy foil container or other fireproof container.
ALWAYS wait for the oven to completely cool before attempting to remove the ASH TRAY. Once cooled,
ashes can be disposed of into compost.
CLEANING THE GLASS
Clean the glass window using a household window cleaner or an oven cleaner product. Care should be taken
if using a household abrasive cream cleaner to not scratch or damage the glass or the painted line markings on
the glass.
NOTE: The doors of the oven have been screen printed with a special heat resistant paint.
Heavy duty scouring pads may damage the paint and are NOT recommended for use.

PROTECTING YOUR GOURMET OVEN
Always cover your Gourmet Outdoor Oven during periods of non-usage to keep it clean, dry and protected
from the elements. If not properly maintained and stored, steel parts will rust. This will not affect the
functionality of the oven, but should be avoided.
