FAQs

Does the oven require a three-phase power connection?

The Hostek Estra 44 is a 12kW single-phase unit, though installation must be carried out by a certified professional to meet electrical safety standards.

How do I clean the refractory stone?

Use a specialized oven brush to remove dry debris. Never use water, soap, or chemical cleaners as they will damage the porous stone.

Can I cook items other than pizza?

Yes, the versatile temperature control makes it suitable for bread, focaccia, and various roasted dishes, provided they are cooked in suitable professional-grade trays.

How long does it take to pre-heat?

Pre-heat time depends on ambient kitchen temperature but typically takes 30-45 minutes to reach peak operating temperatures.

Are the two decks operated by a single thermostat?

No, the oven features independent controls, allowing you to set different temperatures for each deck simultaneously.

Troubleshooting

Oven failing to reach set temperature

Check that the independent deck controls are active and verify that the heating elements are glowing; if one deck is cold, the specific element may need inspection.

Uneven cooking across the deck

Ensure the refractory stone is free of built-up carbonized flour and that the oven has had sufficient pre-heat time to saturate the stone with heat.

Door not closing tightly

Inspect the hinges for debris or misalignment and check the door gaskets for signs of wear or hardening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High output capacity for busy service periods
  • Independent temperature controls for energy savings
  • Even baking results due to refractory stone bases
  • Robust stainless steel construction built for commercial use
  • Large viewing windows and internal lighting for easy monitoring

Cons

  • Requires a 12kW single-phase power supply
  • Heavy build requires significant floor space or a heavy-duty stand
  • High initial investment compared to smaller, entry-level units

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is a 12kW single-phase appliance and must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure your kitchen's power supply can handle the load. Ensure the oven is placed on a level, non-combustible surface with adequate ventilation space on all sides to prevent overheating. For care, keep the exterior stainless steel clean with non-abrasive cleaners. The internal refractory stones should be brushed regularly to remove burnt flour and debris; do not use water or liquid cleaners on the stones, as this can lead to cracking or heat degradation. Regularly check the door seals to ensure no heat is escaping, which helps maintain the oven's energy efficiency.
