Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Cooking Surface: After each use, allow the oven to cool down before cleaning the cooking surface. Use a scraper to remove food remnants, grease, or burned particles. Wipe it down with a damp cloth.
• Empty the Drip Tray: Regularly empty the drip tray to remove grease and food debris that accumulate during cooking. Clean the tray with warm, soapy water after each use.
• Inspect and Clean the Pellet Hopper: Periodically check the pellet hopper for any dust or debris. Clean it to prevent clogging or pellet jams, which can affect the pellet feeding mechanism.
• Check the Burn Pot: Clean the burn pot regularly to prevent ash buildup that can hinder combustion. Use a brush or vacuum to clear out ash and ensure efficient operation.
• Clean the Pellet Feed System: Ensure the pellet feed system is free of blockages. If necessary, use compressed air or a brush to clear any pellet dust or debris from the auger and feeding system.
• Inspect the Firebox: Clean the firebox by removing ashes and soot buildup to maintain consistent heat production. Check for wear or damage to the firebox walls and repair as needed.
• Maintain the Temperature Probes: Test and calibrate the temperature probes regularly to ensure accurate temperature readings, essential for proper cooking.
• Clean the Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the pizza oven with a damp cloth after each use to remove grease and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface finish.
• Check Door Seals: Inspect the door seals to ensure they are in good condition. Replace any cracked or worn seals to maintain temperature control and efficiency.
• Store Pellets Properly: Keep your wood pellets in a dry, cool place. Damp pellets can cause clogs or poor combustion, reducing the oven’s performance.
