Cleaning the pizza plate
(on some models only)
The pizza plate (where included) should be washed separately according to the following
instructions:
The stone must be cleaned after every use. Do not heat it again if it has any
encrustations.
To clean, pour 55 cc of vinegar onto the stone, leave it to act for 10 minutes, then remove
it by wiping with a metallic mesh or abrasive sponge.
Rinse with water then leave to dry.
•
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 glass ceramic hobs.
•
For best results, the stone must still be warm; otherwise, wash it in hot water.
•
Use metal mesh sponges or 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 at 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.
