Maintenance

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Slight hairline cracks are expected to appear in the clay pot during use. A tub of fire cement (furnace cement),
is supplied with the oven to effect repairs as follows (when the Tandoor has cooled down):
• Dampen the affected area with a moist cloth.
• Fill in the crack with the fire cement using a wooden spatula.
• Smooth the foiled area with a soft moist cloth.
• Allow repair to air dry for approximately 6 hours. DO NOT WET THE CLAY LINING.
• Remove rocks and lightly brush clean.
NORMAL CLEANING
Clean all the external panels with a non-abrasive detergent. To safely remove the build-up of grease on the
clay surface, wipe it down with a cloth that has been dampened with a solution of salt and white vinegar.
BURNER
At least twice a year, clean the burner. The burner can be cleaned, by gently scraping with a brass bristle
brush. Ensure that all burner ports (openings) are clear (DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS). If you find
cracks, abnormal holes, or damage caused by corrosion during your inspection and cleaning, replace burner.
IGNITOR
Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove rust and grease. If a crack is detected, a replacement
ignitor system will be required.
PLATES
Scrub the plate with a stiff long handled brass brush. The plate can also be washed with a mild detergent. If
rust appears on your plate, remove the rust with a scrub pad. If excessive wear is evident, you might want to
replace your plate.
EXTERNAL STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
The external area of your tandoor should be cleaned daily to maintain a proper hygiene/cooking environment.
All grease, dust and food particles should be removed from the tandoor surface before lighting the tandoor. It
can be cleaned with a wet cloth and kitchen surface disinfectants.
