You are awesome 🎉 Thank you sooo much for demonstrating cleaning, I’ve had a hell of a time trying to keep hood clean the way Ninja says😞 I’m so glad you showed me what I’ve been thinking would work but I’ve been too afraid to try in fear of damage. Love your down to earth style ❤ can’t wait to watch you cook 😋 you mentioned you use air fryer mode after cleaning but not if you add a bowl of water, can you explain better? Thanks again for amazing helpful video

I own 5 foodies in & clean em all the same way. I fill the roasting pans while in the foodie, with h20 and vinegar or lemon juice.....or even Dawn at times. Then I turn the foodie on the highest temp...roast or bake and let it run for about 10-15 minutes. The steam loosens up the grime and allows you to just wipe the crud away. I follow that up by using plain water to steam as to "rinse" away any vinegar/Dawn I used. I use oven cleaner for the mesh plate.

Videographers feedback, don’t use devolves when you cutting from one talking head to another in the same location and composition, just leave it as a simple cut no transitions. Other than that your intro was nice and the video was great the angle for the cleaning was great and I can feel how difficult that could have been to pull off. Thank you brother

I've taken the screws out except for the one bar because there is a bolt there I can't get off. Lol. I love my grill but I don't use it alot as I have to run upstairs to ckean in as I live in a friend's basement. After I cook I spray the scrern and the grill with the dawn spray soap while they are hot. By the time I'm done eating I do the dishes and poof they ckean up so easy. I'm a clean freak and I ckean the fan up there best I can everytime. Great machine but design for keeping it ckean is bad. Lol. Thanks for your videos

Hi guys, The biggest problem cleaning this thing is access. It’s just really awkward to get at. So I periodically tilt it over weight mostly on its top (resting on a oven glove) take off the four screws (takes a minute) then take the individual parts and clean them, much easier (do it whatever way you feel works best for you). Of course the key is to clean it every time you use it and keep on top of it however every once and a while take it a part and do a ‘deep’ clean. I bring mine up like new when I do it this way. Hope this helps. K
