Instructions for the user
8.5.1 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames makes it
easier to clean the side parts, and it
also needs to be done whenever the
automatic cleaning cycle is used (only
available on some models).
• To remove the guide frames, pull
the frame towards the inside of the
oven to unhook it from its housing
A, then slide it out of the seats at
the back B.
• When cleaning is complete, repeat
the above procedures to put the
guide frames back in.
8.6 Cleaning the pizza plate
The pizza plate (where included) should be washed separately according to the
following instructions:
Pyrolytic models: leave the pizza stone inside and activate the pyrolysis
function, then at the end, when the stone has cooled down to lukewarm, wipe it
with a damp microfibre cloth to remove any residues.
Multifunction models: 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 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.
