Thanks!
Yay! This is the first video that popped up when I searched how to clean it. I LOVE this oven. It has made the best food ever. But it’s DIRTY and I need to deep clean today. I appreciate it.
You are so welcome! thanks Leah!
Great video. I just cleaned my oven and used Mr Clean sponges. I did not even think about checking the back of the oven. Thanks for the reminder. 😊
Got to tell you the magic eraser worked fine and so did dawn spray.. Watched an earlier video using baking soda painted on and let it set over night, I do not recommend that process it left stains on the metal. Thanks for that video you made👍
Good to know! Sal! Thanks!
So how do we remove those stains from baking soda? Oops
@@monarchbutterfly31 vinegar + water solution, dip in the sponge in that solution and scrub
This is the best cleaning video I’ve seen. Watched a few before this and this is the most helpful! Thank you! I’ve been slacking a little on keeping my oven clean. I have all of these products besides the steamer. Thanks!!
Thanks for this video. The manual does mention not using abrasive cleaners and brushes. I had to clean ours using dish wash detergent and baking soda with warm water. The baking soda did cut into the grease but I think the soft scrubbing sponges will help in the future.
Late to the party but I appreciate this video for sure. Used mine for the first time to bake a chicken and was anxious about how to clean it. That brillo pad looks like a pretty good one, along with the magic eraser. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for your video. I personally clean my oven after each use. I use a towel with a bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid. This way the dirt doesn't pile up.
Another great and informative video. Thank you. I like to use the magic eraser sheets, only because they are thinner and I can reach into smaller areas with them. I also like to use the aluminum sheets from the dollar store to line the bottom removeable tray.
Thank you very much! been trying to find someone cleaning a really dirty one, used mine for a few weeks heavily when I bought it and never even thought about a wipe out now I'm scrubbing at the danged thing thinking "there's has be a better way" I"m picking up some of the dawn today!
I hope in the future they make a nonstick or have an oven clean function.
@@pressurecrisp You can't use BRILLO! All those fibers get stuck in the fan then end up on your next meal. It literally says this in the manual. Gotta be more aware.
I have one of these ovens and it really needs a deep cleaning - thanks for this video
You are so welcome!
We appreciate all that you Share with us!
I really wish the heating elements were removable. That would make it so much easier to clean.
agree-also to replace when they get worn. out.
@@pressurecrisp yes! That would be amazing since the oven costs so much.
Thank you Lisa. I definitely used the Brillo pad. We do need to know how to clean these things😀
Thanks for taking the time to show the the different methods in detail. I have the items you used, plus I plan to try simple green with my scrub daddy sponge or magic eraser to see if it is better than the dawn power wash…side note since I started using the dawn power wash on some dishes etc, my white porcelain sink doesn’t get stains. I used to use Ajax or Comet about once a week now I use it less than once a month and wonder why I’m doing it even then…remembering as Susan Powell, Miss America 1981 on her “Home Matters“ tv show once said “ don’t clean clean “ Meaning, If it’s clean, clean something that’s dirty instead!
oh I like Miss Americas advice-how did the simple green work? I have that in the house and well I'm visiting my friend Chris and he hasn't cleaned his grill in almost a year -it is very bad-so I'm going to clean it for him. Thanks
Thank you! I've had such a headache with getting this clean! I appreciate your post!!
Shannon, I agree. It is a nightmare to keep it clean. You shouldn't have to spend so much time to keep this small oven clean. Its clear the interior does not handle grease well. I only had mine a week, took me a good 20 minutes to clean it, no thank you. It went straight back to QVC. If they make a newer model the interior should be non stick. I bought a Biochef airfry oven which is non stick and takes 2 minutes to clean after every use.
My MIL made bacon and sausage in it. I haven't been able to get it clean since 😭
What have you used to clean the bulbs? This video was very helpful. Thank you.
I was wondering the same thing
Don’t use oven cleaner anyone!!! Destroyed the finish. 🥺 learned the hard way
Thanks for sharing
Oops. Just ruined the finish on mine tonight. Did yours rust or is it just less pretty now? Hopefully I didn't ruin this thing.
I did the same. Stupid machine.
I also destroyed the finish with oven pride. Mine also rusted significantly. I’m gonna try and use rust remover and a heatproof silver paint to restore the finish.
Lisa we miss you! Hope you are happy and well ❤️
I used cleaning vinegar and trader Joe's dish soap..it requires a little more elbow grease but it's food safe. Magic eraser recommends rinsing after use if surface is used for food. I will try the steamer also, I have a similar model... the back corners didn't really come clean
thanks for the suggestions!
I have one of these the only way I have found to keep it clean and not use chemicals like it says is to wipe it down after every use which is a pain but it does work you can’t let anything bake on more than once
agree with this.
Thank you for showing us (me) that own this exact toaster oven how to clean it better. I haven't had my too long and actually just had to clean it today, and I was a little iffy as to how to do it. I like the idea's you suggested. I used a copper (real copper) scouring pad to clean it.
Thx. I’ll pick up a copper scouring pad. Thx!
Ok; but be careful about how much pressure you apply to your oven! I used light pressure to clean mine,didn't seem to scratch it up or interfere with the functionality of the oven@@pressurecrisp
I think if you drop lemon in that steamer's water, it will be better result. Similar idea how to descale water kettle with lemon.
agree. thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you! I love your videos. I don't have a Ninja Foodi yet but I am looking to get one in the next couple of months. I will be ready to use it with all this great knowledge I am picking up in the meantime
Hi Lisa my best cleaner is Mr. Clean eraser 100% love it I clean everything with it
Thanks Ada!
Thanks! We just got ours and are now thinking -why didn’t they put a non stick coating on the inside? I’d pay an extra $50 for it…
Agree with that!
It's because they're a very aggressive marketing company and are much more interested in profits. These ovens costs them pennies in the dollar to produce and I like mine but it's ultimately meant to be a disposable item.
@@MegaMikeArnold
Not a good way to build a reputation is it
I bought this oven specifically because it doesn’t have a nonstick coating, I’m not interested in cooking my food in an oven with toxic chemicals.
@@ajdavies24 Fair point. So many things have “forever” chemicals, (including some places’ water). Best to limit when possible.
Thank you so much for this video !!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why one oven has a fan screen, and one does not ??
PS. I'm ordering that Bissel steamer...I can use that for a lot of things !!
Be aware that when doing the wipe-out right after using it, you need to pull out the crumb tray on the bottom! I didn't think about it and when I finally needed to pull that out to clean I found a bunch of grease had gotten underneath it and baked on. The edges of the bottom elements are pretty sharp too, so it gets hard to wipe around them without getting small cuts on your fingers.
Thanks for the info to check the back for grease! I never even thought of it! Now if there was just a way to clean the actual fan blade under the grate no way to access it at all. Mine looks nasty after only a month.
On a side note, mine is one of the ones where the letters were rubbing off of the power and start buttons. I called Ninja and they are sending me a whole new oven! Just $22.31 for shipping. It doesn't come with any of the accessories tho. The original one does seem to have gotten louder over time when the fan runs, so I'm hoping the new one doesn't have the same issue.
.
Where did you called Ninja mine is super dirty and I only have with it 2 months! The hot dogs really does a number on it
Y'all dr bronners sals suds and the brillo pad. Worked like a charm and mine was BAD. Lol😅made this one look amazing in the dirty state. Im sure the dawn works good too but for an actual "food safe" option sals suds is suitable for cleaning fruits and veggies so yea, food safe.
Brillo pads clean everything - I always wear gloves with them Because of the aluminum. I hate using them but seems to be the thing I always go back to. Curious what type of Brillo you are using. Did it scratch the interior? I’ve also had a lot of luck with baking soda and peroxide and use it to clean my stainless juicer. It sits over night and wipes clean the next day. Have you tried this with the oven?
Thanks for making this video because not sure how grease got splatter and thinking how am i gonna clean that fan😳🤔🤦🏽♀️ and never tried my steamer bissell so can’t wait to try using that too😁good luck to me but all the cleaning agents you used seem yo pretty work but the magic eraser does seem to tear when scrubbing 😮 so thanks again for this cleaning tutorial 🥰
Thank you so very much. I needed information on how to deep clean mine
You can cut cleaning 🧼 sponge in half to reach inside easier…😊
Hi Lisa, haven't seen you for a while, hope all's ok!
Great Video, Thanks LISA! I ended up using the Mr.Clean which I had and didn't think about it and now for me, it's The Option. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
The owner's manual says to specifically NOT use abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes, or chemical cleaners, says they will damage the oven. That would rule out an SOS pad.
Wouldn't it have been much smarter to steam clean first and then scrub with sponge.
👍🤨
Yeah, we’ve had ours for a yr. now .. I clean the trays a lot but the back & sides are ABSOLUTELY baked on dark brown.
It says not to use anything except to take out all trays & put on toaster #7 (which is what I do my toast on anyway)
You said your unit was dirty - it looks pretty much brand spanking new to me, cause I was concerned about using cleaning agents, esp. the Mr. Clean pads are so toxic.
We have the earlier unit with screen in back - it LOOKS like it could come off but I wasn’t sure & didn’t see anything in the manual, mine’s probably stuck closed by now.
Anyway .. do what feels comfortable & works.
I have this air fryer and it's a pain to keep clean. There's a reason the book tells you to wipe down after every use. I wish I would've followed this advice
even so-stuff will get cooked on and will have to clean it.
Hello everyone and Lisa.. Thanks so much for the tips.... I was watching this because I am thinking to buy one... but being quite a bit invalid with my arms, after reading all comments I realise I almost won't be able to scrubb 😢 and I hesitate now.
So, 🙏🏽✨has anyone found a better model with the advantages of the NINJA, multifonctions, fast heating, dehydration but EASY TO CLEAN? Thanks for the answers ✨
I’m looking myself. I just got a one of these with the probe, and haven’t used it yet, but gonna return it due to all the reviews I’ve researched on how it’s a great pain to clean the interior of the oven including the pans that come with it. I got my oven for $230, but that much laborious time consumed cleaning ain’t worth it to me. I’d pay more for a product as this if it had very good nonstick features with longevity, along with real preheat and more consistent temps.
Great Video. I hope you are feeling well. Normally you put out a video about once a week. Hope everything is well and can’t wait for your next video 😀
Even my old table top convection bought in the 80s is or was self cleaning
I see it was your birthday! Happy Birthday Lisa (and twin brother as well)!
Happy Birthday Lisa.
Wishing you the best.
Thanks very much for this. These machines are very cheap to manufacture and for the price they're typically sold at at retail, there's no reason the interior should not be self-cleaning or at the very least more durable and able to stand up to an oven cleaner like Easy Off without ruining the surface. The fan is equally flawed in design and cheaply constructed. For example, how is it possible not to have access to the actual fan blades!?!? Especially since they're an essential component of the air frying function! Inexcusable for a 250 toaster oven. Mine had an issue with the decals/lettering coming off the function buttons (a known issue on some of these ovens) and when I called customer service I was told that I would be sent new labeling but what I got was a rather pitiful sticker that runs between the buttons and which makes the oven look as cheap as it's manufactured. The Ninja brand represents an aggressive highly profit-driven and extremely profitable company and there's no denying how effective their marketing strategy is, but at a significant cost both in time and inconvenience (and therefore money) to their intended target market. This product could be a great, cost-saving and versatile alternative to a full-sized oven, but needs a thorough refresh in design to realize its full potential and increase brand loyalty over time.
got a new oven i like what you did
Thanks David!
I tried Easy Off but that doesn't seem to work at all, even after letting it sit for the suggested hour. I'm gonna try the Dawn and see if that helps. :)
Easy off left stains and marks after I used it :(
Thank you !!! Any tips on cleaning the drip tray? It’s claims it’s non stick but it sticks sooo bad after each use .
Do you mean the flat pull out tray? If so I do clean it with a Brillo pad.
@@pressurecrisp yea the tray under the air fryer basket.
Only after one use for air fry pork chop. I m worry it will scratch. It’s feels like nonstick but it’s not
@@catherinecheung207 No its not nonstick-I do use the Brillo pad on it and it does scratch it.
Thanks for the video, it's very informative. I recently purchased one of these and noticed it no longer comes with a splatter guard, so I'm trying to think about if I should, buy a splatter guard and use something to hold over the fan or is there a way to properly maintain the fan without the splatter guard.
I can’t seem to get the rods on the top to get clean and every time the oven is on now it smokes really badly so it can’t be used at all. I can’t figure out how to take the heating rods out to maybe clean it that way 😩
If I remember correctly, I used a regular sponge from dollar tree with a slightly abrasive (but non-scratch) part and some vinager and hot water alternating with dawn dish soap and gently scrubbed around it then I took one of those brillo clothes (like a disposable rag) and wiped around it. You could also probably use a tooth brush and dawn and hot water. I wish they didn't make those so fragile or would make them where we can remove them to clean. The design itself didn't take into account for cleaning
Manufacturers put all kinds of warnings because they don’t want someone saying the product they said would clean it made a tiny scuff…or someone used it on the stainless exterior or worse on the handle with the buttons, the interior is metal, appears to be aluminum and that’s why some had discoloration with the baking soda method…basically if you decide to use something not recommended, you can’t blame the manufacturer for less than desirable results … but they aren’t going to send anyone to clean it for you. So you own it, use what you are comfortable with using.
Very well said-thank you!
it's really awkward cleaning when you're short with short arms. i get frustrated. yours looks brand new compared to mine. i use it a few times a day every day. isn't the brillo kind of abrasive? doesn't it say not to use anything abrasive? steaming seems to take the longest.
Brillo scratched the internal side wall ceramic coating on mine - it's a good job I tested on an inconspicuous part. Not happy.
what ceramic coating? @@davidtaylor1712
Where are you been girl I kind of miss you and looking forward to some more of your videos hope you’re OK hope everyone’s OK
This looks great. It gives me options!!
Thank you for this valuable info.
My pleasure!
Truly appreciate this video.
Just tried all tips and nothing worked. Are you cleaning this directly after the mess was made ? Will this work after weeks of not cleaning? Any other tips? nothing worked and ours looked identical.
Think it was a few weeks after-I recomeneded a Brillo pad to someone else and they said it ruined there Oven but I use it all the time and don't have a problem. But I haven't been able to clean the heating elements/bars-I wipe but don't scrub them.
Ms Lisa!! I wanted to check in with you! I hope you and your family is ok!
Hi! Love your videos! Haven’t heard from you, hope everything is ok!
I would think it would be almost impossible to remove 100% of any cleaning product in the air fry, especially around the heating elements Have you noticed any problems with left behind cleaning residue when cooking? Did it have any affect on the taste of the food?
I hope you and your family are ok Lisa. If you are just taking a break good for you 😺
Thank you, I enjoy watching your videos
Thank you for this. Very helpful
Can I hurt the heating element cleaning? Any tips. Great video
Not sure. I don’t press hard on the elements.
Hope all is well! We all miss your wonderful videos
Would of been nice to see you start with a dirty oven.
Lisa, I am really concerned about you. I am praying for you and your family and hoping upon hope that you are ok. We all hope to hear from you soon! 😔🙏 💙🙋🏻~Janis
I'm with you on that. Very worried.
Can I use cooking bags to roast in the Ninja? It has been a life saver since I have been on oxygen I cannot use my gas range. But cleaning it has been a problem. I even tried cleaning while it was a little warm. Thanks for the tips. I will try today.
Definitely can use roasting bags -they may inflate a bit but just put a pin hole to prevent this. Thanks Lena!
Great job! Very informative!
How do you clean the top? Can you flip the oven upside down?
same way it tough I haven't flipped the oven over but don't see whyy you can't. Thanks
Is the inside of the oven steel? Or is it some type of nonstick coating?
its not steel and not nonstick- its a different coating-not sure what it is.
Everyone has forgotten about the grill elements in the top of the unit.
Can you remove them to clean ?
No but you can run a grill programme on Hi for ten to fifteen minutes and the quartz elements will self clean! :)
i didn't realize the dawn spray leaves a residue. turned the oven on and it ruined my food. i rinsed a lot. the interrior of mine is ruined.
Does anyone have ideas on how to clean the bottom rails? I air fried something and didn’t realize it was dripping onto the rails and now I have thick grease I can’t get off. 😩
I s do ant get mine all the way clean but do my best with Dawn power wash and other cleaners.
Missing you where ya been hoping all is well....
Nice clean job. I'm working on how to keep the greasy mess from flying around. I made two racks of delicious chicken wings yesterday. I have to say it left a mess on the inside of the oven and glass. Now I'm trying to figure out what I can cover the grease expelling foods with to prevent the walls from getting greasy. Maybe I'll try covering next air fried food with my hole perforated aluminum pie pans..I have a ten inch and 9 inch. I hope it works otherwise I will just keep using my Ninja Grill.
Hi..me again. I have a question, It says not to put trays/included air fryer tray into the dishwasher. Way to much work to hand wash. Ninja said it will make them wear out quicker. Do you hand wash your grill and air fryer trays or go for the dishwasher. Another reason why I prefer the N Grill..it goes into the dishwasher.
@@sylviah1234 I rinse mine off, then put them in the dishwasher. 1 year later, mine is just fine.
I hope you unplugged the oven before you started to clean it. I think I've decided not to buy one like yours since as you said the new model does not come with a grease screen in the back of your oven. Very detailed video btw.
Whatever you do don't use oven cleaner, damaged the finish in mine and the food cooked afterwards smelled and tasted like chemicals. I threw it away and bought another. 😭
Thanks!
How did you clean the fan in the back?
My oven is a nasty mess and I’m kinda POed if you read the manual for cleaning or what you cant use for cleaning. I’m ready to use oven off to clean this thing out thoroughly. Because of the cleaning NOT to do instructions, I don’t use the oven much. I’m ready to ditch this oven! My fan is a nasty mess! How do you clean the fan?
THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome! Thanks Anissa!
👍 After experimenting, what do you recommend for the Foodi lid?
The bottom silver crumb tray doesn't come off on my machine. Think it's welded shut
Hmmmm. Not sure if it’s supposed to be welded. Anyone else have an oven where the crumb tray doesn’t remove?
How do you clean the fan, behind the screen?
Where are you? Everything ok?
I need to know what to use on the top part, mine is bad
the cleaning of this is putting me off buying one tbh.
i am considering a cuisinart model that has a "non stick" interior , as an alternative
What about the tubez on the top how do you clean them?? Is that the hearing element??
I just wipe them-I don't want to apply too much pressure-afraid I may break them
Hey Lisa, we are getting worried about you. Take care.
Is it safe to use all these chemicals inside where the food is cooked ?
Lisa, How did you get the oven without the grease grate?
The newer models come without the cover over the fan. I read somewhere that they found it worked better without.
Do not use Easy off. It ruined mine. It will peel off the surface of the inside.
oh. thank you for this.
That expensive. It isn’t self cleaning?
I used oven cleaner and now there are white spots everywhere that won’t come off… did I ruin it??
you didn't ruin it just spots/blemish-
I've been desperately trying to figure out who she reminds me of, then I finally realized that her personality and mannerisms is very identical to the character Database from the Simpsons. Look him up.
Absolutely nothing is getting the grease and build up off of mine
oh no! Brillo pad works the best for me-someone suggested a paste made from baking soda and dawn but I haven tried it yet.
Brillo scratched the internal side wall ceramic coating on mine - it's a good job I tested on an inconspicuous part. Not happy.
don't use the dawn. I did and even though I've repeatedly rinsed and wiped down. can't get the smell out and it makes everything ltaste terribl. thinking of throwing it out
Sounds like you used too much wouldn't recommend spraying into vents where you can't wipe it of afterwards, spray on a cloth first and wipe over vent surface.
I think I'll eat out. LOL
That oven is dirty? 😅 don’t look at mine!
lol.
I thought Brillo pads were not supposed to be used
Brillo scratched the internal side wall ceramic coating on mine - it's a good job I tested on an inconspicuous part. Not happy.
Your oven is already clean.
Facial and cleaning at the same time lol
lol. true!
