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

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.
