Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage if needed.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 10 cm) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under wall cabinets.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the oven rack, baking pan, and crumb tray in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
4. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature (240°C) using the "Natural Convection" mode. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
5. Power Connection: Plug the oven into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your appliance.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel Overview

• Top Knob: Temperature selection (up to 240°C).
• Middle Knob: Cooking mode selection.
• Bottom Knob: Timer selection (up to 120 minutes) or continuous operation.

Cooking Modes

The Moulinex OX484100 offers 6 distinct cooking modes:

• Convection (Chaleur Tournante): Uses a fan to circulate hot air evenly throughout the oven. Ideal for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously, roasting meats, and achieving even browning.
• Natural Convection (Chaleur Convection Naturelle): Traditional top and bottom heating elements. Best for baking cakes, bread, and casseroles where gentle, even heat is desired.
• Grill: Uses the top heating element for grilling, toasting, and browning the surface of food. Perfect for gratins, grilled sandwiches, or crisping toppings.
• Pastry (Pâtisserie): Optimized for delicate baking, such as pastries, cookies, and soufflés, providing a consistent and gentle heat.
• Bain-Marie: A gentle cooking method using indirect heat, typically for delicate foods like custards, terrines, or keeping food warm without drying it out.
• Defrost (Fonction Décongélation): Uses a low heat or fan-only setting to gently thaw frozen foods.

General Operation Steps

1. Prepare Food: Place your food in an appropriate oven-safe dish or directly on the oven rack.
2. Place Food in Oven: Open the oven door and carefully place the dish or rack inside. Close the door securely.
3. Select Cooking Mode: Turn the middle knob to select the desired cooking mode (e.g., Convection, Grill).
4. Set Temperature: Turn the top knob to set the desired cooking temperature (e.g., 180°C, 220°C).
5. Set Timer: Turn the bottom knob to set the desired cooking time (up to 120 minutes). The oven will start heating immediately. If you wish to cook for a longer duration or continuously, turn the timer knob past the 120-minute mark to the "Stay On" position (usually indicated by a bell symbol or continuous line).
6. Monitor Cooking: The oven light (if present, or through the glass door) allows you to monitor the cooking process.
7. End of Cooking: When the set time elapses, the oven will automatically turn off and a bell will sound (if timer was set). For continuous cooking, manually turn the timer knob to the "Off" position.
8. Remove Food: Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot food from the oven.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your oven.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
3. Interior: For light spills, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for conventional ovens can be used, following the product's instructions. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed before next use.
4. Glass Door: Clean the double-walled glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the seal.
5. Oven Rack, Baking Pan, Crumb Tray: These accessories can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning them to the oven. The crumb tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards.
6. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the oven body, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
