Four things come out of the box and each wants different handling. The one that matters most is the ceramic-coated bake pan — it is the part most likely to be ruined by ordinary cleaning habits, and the part Our Place's warranty is least likely to cover.
Everything that needs cleaning comes with the $185, 12-litre Wonder Oven, and Our Place states those accessories are made without PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead and cadmium; the oven carries a one-year warranty.
The ceramic bake pan. Aluminium with a ceramic nonstick coating. Let it cool completely before it meets water — thermal shock is what warps aluminium and crazes ceramic coatings. Then warm water, a soft sponge and washing-up liquid. No steel wool, no scouring powder, no abrasive cream, and no long soak.
The air fryer basket, wire rack and crumb tray. Steel, with no coating to protect, so these are the forgiving ones. Soak them, scrub them, use a stiff brush on baked-on residue.
The glass door. Cool first, then a damp cloth. Grease that has baked on responds to warm soapy water and patience rather than force; avoid anything abrasive that will scratch glass permanently.
The chamber. Stainless steel and glass. Wipe it out when cool. Do not spray cleaner into a chamber containing heating elements — apply to the cloth instead.
Every model ships with one, and it is the single highest-value two minutes of maintenance on the appliance. Crumbs left underneath the element carbonise, then smoke, then taste of themselves in whatever you cook next. Most “my oven smells burnt” complaints about any countertop oven trace back to a full crumb tray.
Empty it weekly if you toast often. It slides out from the base.
Our Place's published material for the Wonder Oven describes the bake pan as aluminium with a non-toxic ceramic nonstick coating and lists the accessories as a wire rack, bake pan, air fryer basket and crumb tray. It does not publish a dishwasher statement for the accessories on the product page, and it does not publish a cleaning procedure there either.
Because it is not stated, we are not going to tell you the bake pan is dishwasher safe. Ceramic nonstick generally is not — dishwasher detergent is abrasive and alkaline, and it shortens coating life even where a manufacturer permits it. Hand wash the coated pan; check the care card in the box for the steel parts.
Ceramic nonstick fails gradually, and the two things that accelerate it are heat shock and abrasion. So: let it cool, then wash by hand with something soft. That is the whole discipline.
Worth knowing that the coating on the bake pan is the wear part of this appliance, and the warranty is one year. If the pan gives out in year three, you are buying a replacement rather than claiming. Using the steel rack and basket for most cooking is not just a safety preference — it is how the coated pan survives.
If the coated bake pan is the wear part and the warranty is one year, the practical move is to cook on something else most of the time. That means more pans, not better soap — and it is the one accessory argument on this site that holds up on the specs rather than on taste. We have a fuller breakdown of what each kit contains.
Skip the Essentials Kit at $49 if you are buying for this reason: it duplicates what already ships in the box, so it adds nothing to rotate through. The Baker's Kit at $79 adds pans you do not otherwise have, which is what actually keeps the original off the heat.
The only kit that gives you additional cooking surfaces, which is the whole point if you are trying to spare the nonstick.
