Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions:

1. Power Down and Cool:

Unplug your NuWave Bravo XL Smart Oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Remove Inner Components:

Take out the crumb tray, baking pan, and wire rack. Wash these components in warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly.

3. Wipe Down Exterior:

Using a soft, damp cloth, gently wipe down the exterior surfaces of the oven, including the door, handle, and control panel. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

4. Clean Crumb Tray:

Remove any crumbs or debris from the crumb tray. If there are stubborn stains, soak the tray in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before washing it.

5. Deodorize Interior:

Fill a small bowl with white vinegar and place it inside the oven. Microwave the vinegar for 1-2 minutes on high power. The steam will help deodorize the oven and remove any lingering odors.

6. Clean Interior:

For general cleaning, mix a solution of baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the interior surfaces of the oven, avoiding the heating element. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

7. Remove Grease and Stains:

If there are stubborn grease or stains, apply a small amount of oven cleaner to the affected areas. Follow the instructions on the oven cleaner label carefully.

Use a toothpick or cotton swab to gently remove any food particles or debris from the heating element. Avoid touching the element with bare hands.
