Easily wipes off. Beautiful Interior. They problem is the mechanism freezes up and will not rotate or run.

I'd think hosing it off would do the trick, depending on what needs to be cleaned off. Mine still looks great, so I haven't even thought about cleaning it. :)

The door cannot be removed for cleaning. The door does, however, open enough to lay down on a counter to allow for easy cleaning of both the door and the interior of the toaster oven.

The only thing that can be removed is a small grate on the top. I clean mine with a scrub brush on a pole. You can find something at Wal-Mart to use:)

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

I bought mine last fall and use it 2-4 times a week. Usually clean it once a week (depending on what is cooked) and I use a wire brush and 1" putty knife to clean it. Yes, the grate may be somewhat scarred but is easy to clean and works as well as it did when new. So much easier to carry this traveling in my motorhome than the gas/charcoal stuff.

The out side of the grill you can't. The inside grill portion use a grill scrub brush.

I have the older SS grates and I find it best to clean the grill right after you are done while it is still hot. Using just papertowels soaked in water. It will get most of the caked on mess off. Watch out for the steam or use tongs. After that, anything that doesn't come off can be scrubbed off with a wire brush. The SS grates are pretty tough but I will go for the porcelain coated iron ones as a next upgrade. I think the iron grates will do a better job with retaining heat.As an additional note, I lined the inside reflector with heavy duty aluminum. Sure makes cleaning easier. Watch out for the grease drippings however, too dirty and you can start a fire with the heat.

The front unscrews with a Phillips head screwdriver. Be careful though, the inside heating element, being ceramic, is brittle as heck. A bit of dust shouldn't affect the function much, and since it doesn't have a fan passing air through it, it shouldn't build up a heavy deposit. If you want to clean it, I'd focus on the front grill itself and leave the heating elements alone.

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

No the grill grates cannot be removed for cleaning so do not even waste your time with this piece of junk. Thus, I purchased an electrical bbq guys stainless steel tabletop grill and it cooks better then my weber gas grill because it is so easy to clean. Lastly the grill grates for bbq guys is removeable. Best of luck, and please let me know if you need anything else Ronald, Omar.

The grate is easy enough to scrape off with a small tool they give you and I do use a regular grill brush. It is easy to lift out once cool and I try to clean it off shortly after each use.....haven't had a problems.

Try removing the grill grate and scrub the burners with a wire brush. Some degreaser to wash the burners may also help.

Heat the grill up to temperature, oil the grates using a rolled up paper towel saturated with vegetable oil and you should be fine. I rarely have food stick to this grill and I've been using it for over 3 yrs. now. Cleanup is a breeze, just brush it down with a grill brush after you finish cooking while the grill is still hot and then again before you start cooking. Wait until the grill is hot and brush it down again and then oil the grates as I mentioned above.

I also wiped out the interior prior to use. I put a silicone pad in the bottom of mine. This was the second toaster/convection I have purchased in the last 12 years. I found this brand to be the most durable and consistent; I use it almost every day.

It's pretty easy. I take my grill grate off and dump the whole thing upside down. But, if I want to get it more clean than that, I would have to pull the leg pegs out of the sides and slide the charcoal grate out. Then you can wipe down the inside. Still not very difficult.

Clean the top of the grate with a bbq grill brush, pour some olive oil in a paper towel and wipe the tops of the grate with the wet part of the paper towel. Also, if you're cooking "sticky" type food, use a thin metal spatula to break loose the item you want to turn before hand.
