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 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 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)
11.5 Cleaning the oven with self-cleaning liners
The oven is fitted with enamelled liners that are continuously self-cleaning.
These liners simplify cleaning of the oven and ensure it continues to
perform well over time.
11.5.1 Using the self-cleaning liners
To keep the inside of the oven clean and free from food residues and
unpleasant smells, it should periodically be operated empty at a
temperature of at least 200° C for a time varying between 30 and 60
minutes. This allows the self-cleaning liners to oxidise any deposits
present, which can then be wiped away with a damp sponge once the
oven has cooled.
11.5.2 Maintenance of self-cleaning liners
The liners should not be cleaned using abrasive creams and ordinary
cleaners. Simply wipe with a damp sponge to avoid damaging the special
enamel coating.
