Cleaning the pizza pan
For regular cleaning, we recommend washing
the pan by hand with warm water and mild
soap, if necessary. Dry the pan thoroughly
and season according to the seasoning guide.
TIP
If any rust develops, use a stainless steel or
copper scouring pad and hot water to remove
it, and then re-season the pan using the method
above.
WARNING
Never put the pizza pan in the dishwasher.
Storing the pizza oven
1. Ensure the oven and all accessories are cool,
clean and dry.
2. Ensure the Stone Deck is inserted into
the oven.
3. Ensure the door is closed.
4. Store the appliance in an upright position
standing level on its support legs. Do not
store the pan or anything else on top. The
only exception is the pizza peel.
NOTE
A natural patina will quickly develop on the
surface of the stone deck with use. This is
expected and will not affect the performance of
your oven.
Cleaning the pizza peel
1. Wash the pizza peel in warm soapy water
with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring
pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not
use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring
pads or metal utensils to clean any of
the accessories as they may damage
the surfaces.
2. Alternatively, the peel can also be placed
in the dishwasher.
Seasoning the pizza pan
The pan provided with your pizza oven is made
of carbon steel and requires special care. Please

WARNING
It is important to note that during the
seasoning process the oven will be at
a temperature above the flash point of
the oil used. This might cause the oil to
spontaneously flash or ignite. To minimize this
risk do not exceed the amount of oil described
in the instructions below and keep the door
fully closed at all times during the process. If
fire or flash is observed, do not be alarmed,
keep the door closed and any flames will
extinguish themselves quickly.
1. Set the STYLE dial to 400°C and allow the
oven to preheat.
2. Wipe the pizza pan with a dry paper towel
or cloth.
3. Add no more than ½ teaspoon of lard,
vegetable or flaxseed oil (not olive oil)
to the paper towel and rub a thin layer
of oil around the inside of the pan and
handle bracket.
