- Develop a regular habit of thoroughly cleaning the combi oven. If recommended, use alcohol wipes or dishwasher tablets to remove smudges. Clean the pane door, suction plate, wire racks, and hoses as advised by the manufacturer. Ensure to clean and lubricate the door seal (gasket) too, if your combi oven has one.
- Avoid using any harsh abrasive materials like wire brushes, steel wool, and metal scrapers to clean your combi oven. Instead, you can wipe the oven interiors with a slightly wet, soft cloth every day. You should also frequently run the self-cleaning cycle of the oven to keep the interiors sleek and clean.
- If your combi oven has a removable meat temperature probe, ensure that you clean it gently with soap and water and wipe it with a clean cloth. It is also advisable to sterilize the probe with some alcohol to ensure that it is germ-free and can be inserted into the food.
- The drain of the oven exists for the condensed steam runoff and is only meant for water to flow through it. Refrain from pouring any other liquids and food debris down the drain to avoid blockage as well as excessive damage to the oven.
- Ensure that you have a good water filtration system set up so that clean water can be fed into the combi oven. It not only imparts better taste to your food but also slows down the limescale buildup in the drainage, thus increasing the lifespan of your appliance. Also, make sure you test out the quality of the water locally and service the filter every 3 to 6 months.
- Lastly, depending on the usage, always service the combi oven in a period of every six months or a year.
