Bake Stone Use & Care for Gas Ranges
Bake Stone
A specially designed rack and bake stone are used to
assure the food quality expected from this specific form
of cooking. To produce a hot oven environment necessary
for baking on a ceramic stone, the heat from the burner
creates the perfect "brick oven" effect. The convection fan
helps circulate the air throughout the oven cavity, so even
temperatures are achieved.
BAKE STONE PLACEMENT
To prepare the oven for bake stone use, remove all
oven racks. Slide the bake stone rack onto rack guide
position 1 and place the bake stone on the rack with the
lip hanging over front edge of rack. Refer to the illustration
below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use care in handling the bake stone.
It will chip or break if dropped.

BAKE STONE CARE
Remove excess food from the bake stone using a scraper.
Brush off any crumbs. Allow the bake stone to cool
completely before wiping with a wet cloth. Wet cloths on
a hot surface can cause steam burns. Do not soak or
immerse the bake stone in water and do not use soap or
detergent. The ceramic stone could absorb the taste and
transmit those flavors to the food.
Stubborn stains may occur on the bake stone. These will
not impair the flavor of the food being cooked.
Avoid cooking foods with a high fat content on the
bake stone. The porous ceramic material will absorb
grease and discolor the stone. Flare-ups can occur.
