The inside of the oven will need little maintenance as the woodsmoke forms a protective layer on the steel. You can clean
the inside of the oven if required with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Mostly it will “self-clean” from the heat of the fire.
●
You don’t need to clean the base stone very often. Firing the oven up a bit higher without food inside will do the oven
chimney cleaning for you.
●
The oven will start to develop surface rust when placed outdoors and especially after the first use. This is to be expected
and is not a product fault. To prevent surface rust, the outside of the oven needs to be regularly oiled. Firstly, remove
ordinary stains with mild soap and warm water, allow to dry and then apply a light coating of vegetable oil.
●
The unit may be left outside all year if a cover is used to help protect it from bad weather
；
however it is recommended to
store in a garage or shed when not in use. If using a cover, ALWAYS ensure the unit has completely cooled before
covering. Placing a couple of sponges between the cover and the oven as this will help promote ventilation and avoid
mould.
