Instructions for the User

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