PRE-DRY THE BAKING STONE
Your baking stone must by pre-dried before using it to prevent warping
and maximize its life. If the stone is not properly dried before its first use,
it could warp, crack or shatter with explosive force.
Follow the pre-drying instructions and document the start time for each
step to keep track of your activity.
 The entire pre-drying process will take six hours and
must be followed exactly as directed.
 Keep the oven door closed throughout the entire
pre-drying process.
 An odor and out-gassing may occur during the initial
heat-up. This is normal as the stone adjusts to its
environment.
