Instructions for the user

•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 scouring 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 the pizza heating element (detail A Fig. 2)
