Refractory Stone 360 × 720 × 14 mm for Professional Pizza Oven

This 360 × 720 × 14 mm refractory stone is intended as a replacement deck element for various professional electric pizza ovens.

It is used in particular on selected FIMAR, GGF, MORETTI FORNI equipment and on the Matricola ML 44 model.

Thanks to its refractory properties, it stores heat while the oven is warming up and releases it progressively beneath the pizza during baking.

Dimensions

• Length: 720 mm
• Width: 360 mm
• Thickness: 14 mm
• Shape: rectangular

Before ordering, always compare these dimensions with the stone currently installed in your oven.

Compatibility

This stone is intended in particular for selected professional ovens from the following brands:

• FIMAR
• GGF
• MORETTI FORNI
• MATRICOLA

One identified compatible model is:

• Matricola ML 44

For FIMAR, GGF and Moretti Forni ovens, always check the exact oven model and the dimensions of the original stone.

The same manufacturer may use different stone sizes depending on the oven model, generation and baking chamber configuration.

Refractory Deck Stone for Electric Pizza Ovens

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

During heating, it stores thermal energy and releases it progressively.

This helps to:

• transfer heat efficiently to the base of the pizza;
• promote even baking of the dough;
• stabilise the deck temperature;
• maintain good thermal inertia;
• support consecutive baking cycles in professional use.

Check the Dimensions Before Ordering

Different refractory stones can have very similar dimensions while still being incompatible.

Before ordering, measure precisely:

• length;
• width;
• thickness.

For this stone, the dimensions must correspond to 360 × 720 × 14 mm.

Thickness is particularly important because it can affect the position of the baking surface inside the oven.

When Should the Refractory Stone Be Replaced?

Replacement may be necessary when the stone shows:

• a break;
• a major crack;
• significant crumbling;
• severe surface deterioration;
• poor stability in its mounting position.

Stains, baking marks and colour changes are normal on a refractory stone used regularly.

They do not necessarily mean that the stone needs to be replaced.

Checks Before Installation

Before installing the new stone, check:

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

The replacement stone should fit in place of the original without being forced.

Installation Advice

Allow the oven to cool completely before carrying out any work.

Then:

• remove the old stone carefully;
• clean the support area thoroughly;
• remove any fragments or residue;
• position the new stone without forcing it;
• make sure it rests correctly on its supports.

Debris or an uneven support surface can create a pressure point and increase the risk of cracking.

Care Advice

To help preserve the refractory stone:

• avoid mechanical impacts;
• avoid sudden temperature changes;
• never pour cold water onto a hot stone;
• allow it to cool naturally before handling;
• remove dry residue with a suitable brush or scraper.

Gradual heating and cooling also help reduce thermal stress.

Reinforced Shipping

Refractory stones are particularly sensitive to impact during transport.

This stone is therefore prepared with reinforced and highly protective packaging, specifically designed for refractory products.
