Cleaning the lower part
1. Remove in sequence the pizza plate
cover (1) and the base (2) on which it is
placed. The base has to be lifted a few
millimetres, then pulled outwards.
2. Lift the end of the bottom heating
element (3) a few centimetres and clean
the oven base.
3. Put the pizza plate base back in place,
pushing it in until it hits the back of the
oven, and push it down so that the
heating element plate is embedded into
the base itself.
Cleaning the pizza plate
The pizza plate should be washed
separately according to the following
instructions:
The stone must be cleaned after every use.
Do not heat it again if it has any
encrustations. To clean, pour 50 cc of
vinegar onto the stone, leave it to act for 10
minutes, then remove it by wiping with a
metallic mesh or abrasive sponge. Rinse
with water then leave to dry.
• 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 glass ceramic hobs.
• For best results, the stone must still be
warm; otherwise, wash it in hot water.
• Use metal mesh sponges or 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 caused by high
temperatures of the enamel coating the
stone.
