3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the oven from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Retain packaging materials for potential future transport.
3.2 Placement and Clearances
Place the oven on a stable, level surface. The unit is double-stacked and includes a stacking kit for secure assembly. Ensure sufficient clearance around the oven for proper ventilation and access for maintenance. Refer to local codes for specific clearance requirements.
3.3 Electrical Connection
The Moffat E23D3/2 is an electric appliance. Connection must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Verify that the power supply voltage and amperage match the oven's requirements.
3.4 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure all packing materials are removed from inside the oven cavities. Run the oven empty for approximately 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues.

4.2 Setting Temperature and Time
- Press the 'Temperature' button and use the '+' or '-' buttons to set the desired temperature between 150°F and 500°F (65°C and 260°C).
- Press the 'Time' button and use the '+' or '-' buttons to set the desired cooking duration.
- Press 'Start' to begin the preheating or cooking cycle.
4.3 Using Pre-programmed Cycles
The oven can store up to 20 custom cooking programs. Refer to the detailed programming guide in the full manual for instructions on how to create, save, and recall these programs.
4.4 Loading the Oven
Each oven cavity has a capacity for three 1/2 size sheet pans with 3-1/3" tray spacing. Use the provided racks. Ensure even spacing for optimal air circulation and cooking performance. The pull-down twin pane glass door allows for easy loading and monitoring.
4.5 During Operation
The Turbofan system ensures consistent heat distribution. Avoid opening the oven door frequently, as this can cause temperature fluctuations and affect cooking times. The internal light can be activated to monitor progress through the glass door.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Daily Cleaning
- Exterior: Wipe down stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
- Interior: After the oven has cooled, wipe the porcelain interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a commercial oven cleaner suitable for porcelain, following the product's instructions carefully. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed before next use.
- Racks: Remove and wash oven racks with warm, soapy water.
5.2 Regular Inspections
Periodically check the door seals for wear and tear. A damaged seal can lead to heat loss and inefficient operation. Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. The 3" adjustable stainless steel feet should be checked for stability and adjusted if necessary to keep the oven level.
