 **Supervise cooking.**
-Hand wash the dish with light dish soap only. Do not place dish in dishwasher.
+### Cleaning
+No part of the Pizzazz is dishwasher-safe.
+Unplug unit before cleaning.
+#### The dish
+Hand wash the dish with hot water (jet spray setting preferable), paper towels and if necessary, light dish soap only.
+Do not place dish in dishwasher.
+Make sure all soap is thoroughly washed off all surfaces before use/storage.
+Do not use excessive force, scraping, or scrub with abrasives. This will remove the non-stick layer, which may cause it to leach off into food; and will ruin the dish. Replacements are [somewhat costly](https://www.gopresto.com/product/baking-pan-for-pizzazz-pizza-oven-85677).
+#### The main unit
+Vacuum or shake the crumbs out of it regularly.
+Wash surfaces with a towel, clean rag or cloth and warm, soapy water.
+Do not use solvents (alcohol, ammonia, acetone) on plastic.
+You may choose to use a brush and mild to moderate detergent on the inner (heat-shield and element) parts.
+Ensure all soap is rinsed away/scrubbed off of the heated parts, especially the elements, else they will smoke off with a terrible stink and may impact the flavor of cooking food.
+### Safety
 Make sure to run the unit for at least 5 minutes after cooking with the elements off (timer at "0") before unplugging.
