Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about ovens
Oven operation
The oven is designed to be easy to use, so you can achieve the best results with minimal effort. To turn it on, after plugging it into the power outlet, simply press the power button and turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Absolutely yes, the oven can be used simultaneously with the TV, refrigerator and air conditioner.
To turn off the oven, simply press the on/off button and unplug it from the socket. NEVER turn the temperature knob. After a few hours, when the oven is cold, you can turn the knob to 0.
No, Macte Ovens do not require any particular types of electrical system* or standard power increases.
*This means systems that are compliant with standards, free from defects and faults.
In all cases the oven must be placed on a heat-resistant surface. The appliance must also have approximately 10-15 cm of space on the sides and rear as well as on the top.
Just look at the orange light on the control panel. When the thermostat light goes off or flashes, it means the oven has reached the desired temperature.
You can use the oven outdoors as long as the weather is clear and there is no humidity.
Of course, it is possible to cook other types of food by taking the necessary precautions in terms of temperature and space.
Cleaning the oven
If the stone is quite dirty at the end of the cooking cycle or during it, simply run the pyrolysis cycle.
Cleaning must be performed when the oven is cold, turned off, and with the power cord unplugged. Avoid using aggressive cleaning products containing chlorine and its diluted solutions, caustic soda, abrasive detergents, hydrochloric acid, bleach, or other products that could scratch or dull the oven. Do not use a water jet and/or high-pressure washer to clean the internal or external parts of the oven, as this could damage the electrical components.
Information on cooking stones
All our ovens are equipped with a refractory stone of the "artisan biscuit" type, ideal for cooking Neapolitan pizza.
This type of stone allows for uniform cooking and prevents the formation of large burns, especially on the base of the pizza when using high temperatures (350°C – 500°C). The oven always comes with this "biscotto" refractory stone, sourced from the finest Italian manufacturers. Since it's handcrafted, the "biscotto" stone is 2 to 2.5 cm thick and isn't perfectly smooth. These variable characteristics in no way compromise the cooking performance of your food. Each "biscotto" refractory stone is certified for food use.
All biscuit stones may have a size tolerance of 10 millimeters, this does not affect the performance of the product in any way.
