Instructions for the user
The pizza plate (present on some models only) must be washed
separately, according to the instructions below:
• 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 the plate of the
pizza heating element (detail

Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use
absorbent kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and
ordinary detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing.
(e.g., powder products, oven-cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal
scouring pads).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface and cause the
glass to shatter.
