Instructions for the user
• Remove the pizza plate and then the base to which it is attached (Fig.
1). Lift the base a few mm and then extract it from the oven.
• Now lift the end of the heating element next to the door of the oven and
clean the bottom. When the operation is complete, damp parts should
be dried thoroughly.
• The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20
minutes after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left
inside the oven.
The pizza plate must be washed separately;
• Before cleaning, remove any dirt burnt onto the stone with the aid of a
metal spatula or a scraper of the kind used for cleaning ceramic hobs;
• For best results, the stone must still be warm; otherwise, wash it in hot
water;
• Use metal mesh or non-abrasive scotch-brite pads, dipped in lemon or
vinegar;
• Never use detergents;
• Never wash in the dishwasher;
• Never leave the stone to soak;
• The damp stone must not be used for a least 8 hours after the end of
the cleaning procedures;
• Over time, slight cracks may appear on the surface of the stone. This is
due to the normal expansion of the stone's finishing glazes at high
temperatures.
• To put the pizza plate base back in place, push it firmly down against
the oven's bottom panel and ensure it engages with plate of the pizza
heating element (detail A Fig. 2) .
