2. Setup and First Use
Before First Use:
- Remove all packaging and labels from the mold.
- Wash the mold thoroughly with warm soapy water.
- Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth or allow to air dry.
Preparation for Baking:
For optimal results, especially during the first few uses, lightly grease the mold cavities with butter or a non-stick spray. While the mold is inherently non-stick, initial greasing can further enhance demolding ease and caramelization.

3. Operating Instructions
Baking:
- Place the mold on a baking sheet for stability before filling.
- Fill each cavity with your madeleine batter, ensuring not to overfill.
- Bake according to your recipe's instructions. The mold's R'System perforations ensure even heat distribution, which may slightly reduce baking times compared to traditional molds. Monitor your baked goods closely.
- The mold is safe for use in conventional ovens, convection ovens, and microwave ovens within the specified temperature range.
Freezing:
The mold can also be used for freezing preparations. Its flexibility allows for easy removal of frozen items.
Demolding:
Once baking or freezing is complete, allow the mold to cool slightly if hot. Due to the silicone's flexibility and non-stick properties, items can be easily pushed out from the bottom of each cavity.

4. Maintenance and Care
Cleaning:
- The mold is dishwasher safe.
- Hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended for extending the product's lifespan and maintaining its non-stick properties.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp utensils that could damage the silicone surface.
Storage:
Store the mold flat or rolled to prevent creasing, which could affect its shape over time. Keep it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
