Compatibility

This stone is offered for certain configurations of professional pizza ovens from the following brands:

• Pizza Group
• Diamond
• Cuppone
• Tornati Forni

However, refractory stone dimensions may vary depending on the oven model, production year and baking chamber configuration.

The original stone must therefore always be checked before ordering.

Pizza Group compatibility

This size is suitable for certain Pizza Group oven configurations.

Compatibility should be checked by comparing:

• width;
• length;
• thickness;
• shape;
• arrangement of the stones inside the chamber.

The original stone must measure:

358 × 715 × 14 mm

Diamond compatibility

This stone may also be suitable for certain professional Diamond pizza oven configurations.

Depending on the range, chamber dimensions and baking-deck construction may differ.

Always check that the stone being replaced measures exactly:

358 × 715 × 14 mm

Tornati Forni compatibility

The 358 × 715 × 14 mm size is suitable for certain Tornati Forni configurations.

Tornati ovens may use different stone sizes and thicknesses depending on the model and the position of the stone.

Before ordering, check:

• exact oven model;
• stone dimensions;
• thickness;
• position inside the chamber;
• number of refractory elements.

Cuppone compatibility

Certain Cuppone ranges use refractory stones with very similar dimensions.

However, some Cuppone stones with comparable dimensions use a different thickness.

Do not select this stone solely on the basis of the brand or approximate measurements.

For a Cuppone oven, use this stone only if the original element measures exactly:

358 × 715 × 14 mm

Function of the refractory stone

The refractory stone forms an essential part of the pizza oven baking surface.

During heating, it stores heat and gradually transfers it directly to the pizza dough.

It helps to:

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

When should a refractory stone be replaced?

Replacement may become necessary if the stone has:

• major breakage;
• an unstable crack;
• a missing section;
• severe surface deterioration;
• a significant 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: 358 mm
• length: 715 mm
• thickness: 14 mm
• shape of the stone
• oven brand
• exact model
• position of the stone
• number of stones forming the baking deck
• arrangement of the individual elements

A difference of only a few millimetres or a different thickness may prevent correct installation.

Installation

Before any work:

• disconnect the electrical supply;
• shut off the gas supply where applicable;
• allow the oven to cool completely;
• carefully remove the damaged stone;
• remove fragments and debris;
• clean the supports;
• install the new stone without forcing it into position.

The stone must sit correctly and securely in its support.

First heat-up

After replacement, 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 naturally before cleaning.

Then remove dry residues with 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 shipped using reinforced, highly protective packaging specifically designed for fragile refractory components.

Particular attention is given to:

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