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 ceramic hob cleaning scraper;

•For the best results, the stone must be still warm; otherwise, wash it with hot water;

•Use non-abrasive metal mesh pads or scotch-brite, 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 refit the pizza plate base, push it snugly against the oven floor and down so that it locks with the pizza heating element (detail A, Fig. 2).
