100% refractory stone

This stone forms part of the baking deck of the pizza oven.

The refractory material stores heat during the heating phase and gradually transfers it to the pizza dough during baking.

It helps provide a stable baking surface suitable for professional use.

Pizza Group compatibility

This stone is intended for certain professional Pizza Group pizza ovens using a baking-deck element measuring:

500 × 500 × 14 mm

Stone dimensions may vary depending on the oven model and production generation.

Before ordering, check the stone currently installed in the oven.

It should match the following specifications:

• 500 mm width;
• 500 mm length;
• 14 mm thickness;
• square shape;
• same position in the baking deck.

Diamond compatibility

This size is also listed for certain professional Diamond pizza oven configurations.

However, the brand alone is not sufficient to confirm compatibility.

For a Diamond oven, always check:

• exact oven model;
• dimensions of the original stone;
• thickness;
• shape;
• position inside the chamber;
• number of stones forming the baking deck.

The stone being replaced must measure exactly:

500 × 500 × 14 mm

No confirmed OEM reference

No sufficiently reliable Pizza Group or Diamond OEM reference has been identified for this stone.

Selection should therefore be based mainly on:

• exact dimensions;
• thickness;
• shape;
• baking-deck layout;
• exact oven model.

Function of the refractory stone

The refractory stone plays an essential role in pizza baking.

It helps to:

• store heat;
• stabilise deck temperature;
• transfer heat directly to the underside of the dough;
• promote even baking;
• retain heat between pizzas;
• provide a suitable surface for direct baking.

When should a refractory stone be replaced?

Over repeated heating and cooling cycles, a refractory stone may gradually crack or break.

Replacement may be necessary if the stone has:

• major breakage;
• a missing section;
• an unstable crack;
• severe surface deterioration;
• a height difference compared with adjacent stones;
• poor stability in its support.

A small stable crack does not necessarily require immediate replacement.

Essential checks before ordering

Before ordering, check:

• width: 500 mm
• length: 500 mm
• thickness: 14 mm
• square shape
• oven brand
• exact model
• stone position
• number of stones forming the deck
• arrangement of the individual elements

A stone with similar dimensions is not necessarily interchangeable.

Installation

Before any work:

• disconnect the oven from the electrical supply;
• allow the appliance to cool completely;
• carefully remove the damaged stone;
• remove fragments and debris;
• clean the supports;
• inspect the stone seating area;
• install the replacement stone without forcing it.

The stone should sit correctly without excessive stress.

First heat-up

After installation, bring the oven up to temperature gradually.

Avoid sudden temperature changes.

Never pour cold water onto a hot refractory stone.

Maintenance

Allow the stone to cool completely before cleaning.

Remove dry residues using a suitable brush.

Avoid soaking the stone with water or chemical cleaning products.

Predominantly dry cleaning is recommended.

Fast shipping

This stone is prepared for fast shipping to help minimise downtime for your professional pizza oven.

Reinforced and highly protective packaging

Refractory stones are particularly fragile during transport.

This stone is therefore packed using reinforced, highly protective packaging specifically suited to refractory components.

Particular attention is given to:

• securing the stone;
• protecting both surfaces;
• protecting all four corners;
• protecting the edges;
• limiting movement inside the parcel;
• reinforcing the outer packaging.
