Causes of damage

Caution!

Heat accumulation: 

Never place the baking stone 

directly onto the floor of the oven, otherwise heat will 

accumulate there and damage the oven.

Scratches: 

Do not place the baking stone onto the 

oven door or onto glass surfaces as this may 

scratch the surface.

Cracks: 

The baking stone cools down rapidly once 

food is placed onto it. If you are baking more than 

one pizza for example, reheat the baking stone for at 

least another 10 minutes after each pizza is baked. 

Otherwise, the baking stone may become cracked.

Shattering: 

Leave the baking stone in the oven to 

cool down before cleaning it. If you place the hot 

baking stone into cold water or set it down onto a 

wet cloth, this may cause great stress to the 

material. The baking stone may shatter as a result.

Baking with the baking 

stone

Home-made bread and bread rolls are easy to make 

using the baking stone, and turn out well every time. 

Tasty snacks such as tarte flambée, quiche and pizza, 

both fresh and frozen, will also get a crispy base, 

almost as if they'd been baked in a brick oven.
The hot baking stone transfers the high temperatures 

very quickly to the food, allowing the characteristic 

crispy crust to form. The pores on the surface close up 

swiftly, so the baked items remain very light and moist 

on the inside.

Heating up the baking stone

Follow the instructions below:

1.

Slide the wire rack into the oven at level 2 or into the 

compact oven at level 1.

2.

Place the baking stone onto the wire rack.

3.

Set top/bottom heating and the recommended 

temperature for your food.

4.

Heat up the baking stone for at least 30 minutes.

General instructions for baking

Flour the baking paddle and, once the baking stone has 

heated up, use the paddle to place the food onto the 

baking stone.
Choose a recipe that uses a baking stone, and use the 

specified settings to guide you.The baking times are 

intended as a guide only. They depend on the quality, 

quantity and composition of the food. For this reason, 

many recipes give approximate (approx.) figures or time 

ranges. 
In addition, follow the setting instructions in the 

instruction manual for your oven.
If cooking frozen foods, follow the manufacturer's 

instructions with regard to top/bottom heating. 
When the food is fully cooked, you can remove it from 

the oven using the baking paddle.

Tips

The pizza base will become crispier if the baking 

stone is as hot as possible when the pizza is placed 

onto it. 

When putting toppings on a tarte flambée or home-

made pizza, try to ensure that the topping does not 

spill over onto the baking stone and spoil the 

surface.

Cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your baking stone will 

retain its appearance and remain fully functional for a 

long time to come. Please note the following:
Only take the baking stone out once the oven has 

cooled down fully.
To clean the baking stone, use hot soapy water and a 

sponge cloth; use a stainless steel scourer to remove 

stubborn dirt.
If your oven features an automatic self-cleaning function 

(pyrolytic self-cleaning), you can clean the baking stone 

at the same time as the cooking compartment by 

putting it on a clean baking tray at level 2. Select the 

highest cleaning setting.
Clean the baking paddle with a soft sponge cloth and 

hot soapy water. Stand up the paddle to allow it to dry.
