Quick Answer
Clean your Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro after every few uses with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent, and deep-clean the interior and accessories monthly to prevent grease buildup.
Why regular cleaning matters
The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro uses super convection and high heat to crisp food quickly. Over time, grease and food residue can bake onto the interior, affecting performance and even causing smoke or odors.
Cleaning isn't just about looks—it protects the heating elements and keeps air circulating properly, so your food cooks evenly and crisply.
What to avoid when cleaning
Never immerse the oven or its control panel in water, and avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the non-stick and stainless steel surfaces.
Also, always unplug the oven and let it cool completely before cleaning. This prevents burns and avoids thermal shock to the interior.
Step-by-step cleaning process
- Unplug and cool down: Turn off the oven, unplug it, and wait until it is completely cool to the touch. Remove all accessories like the wire rack, baking pan, and air fryer basket. Never clean a warm oven—thermal shock can warp metal parts.
- Wipe interior and exterior: Dampen a soft cloth with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Wipe the interior walls, ceiling, and door glass, then the exterior. Avoid getting moisture into the heating elements or control panel. Use a separate clean damp cloth to rinse away soap residue.
- Clean accessories: Wash the wire rack, baking pan, and air fryer basket in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher if they are dishwasher-safe. Dry them completely before returning them to the oven. Check the manual for dishwasher safety—some non-stick coatings are hand-wash only.
- Degrease stubborn spots: For baked-on grease, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the spots, let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft sponge. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid metal scrapers that can scratch the interior surface.
- Dry and reassemble: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove all moisture from the interior and accessories. Replace the rack and basket, and leave the door open for an hour to air out. A fully dry oven prevents rust and ensures your next cook is smoke-free.
- Maintain between deep cleans: After each use, once the oven cools, wipe the interior and door with a dry cloth or a lightly dampened one to remove crumbs and light splatter. Empty and wash the crumb tray regularly. A quick wipe after every use reduces the need for frequent deep cleaning.
