Troubleshooting

Pizza not cooking evenly or crust isn't crispy.

Ensure the oven has fully preheated for the recommended 10 minutes to reach its optimal temperature. Check that the pizza is centered on the stone plate. You may need to slightly adjust the cooking time or thermostat setting based on pizza thickness and toppings.

Pizza sticking to the stone plate or paddles.

Before placing the pizza, lightly flour or dust the wooden paddles with semolina. If using a fresh dough, ensure it's not too wet. For the stone, ensure it's clean and consider giving it time to 'season' over several uses, which helps create a non-stick surface.

Oven is not heating up.

Verify that the oven is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position and the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. Allow the full 10-minute preheat time before expecting results.

Pizza burning or cooking too quickly.

Lower the thermostat setting slightly or reduce the cooking time. Utilize the integrated cooking timer to accurately manage cook duration and the glass viewing window to monitor progress closely.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Stone Plate: Always allow the stone plate to cool completely before attempting to clean. Gently scrape off any baked-on food residue using a plastic scraper or brush. For stubborn stains, a damp cloth can be used, but avoid soap or harsh detergents, as they can absorb into the porous stone. Ensure the stone is completely dry before next use.
  • Exterior Cleaning: Once the oven is cool, wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
  • Storage: Store the oven in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped.
