Installation Instructions
Important Safety Notice: Before beginning any installation, ensure your Moulinex Cookeo appliance is unplugged from the power outlet and completely cooled down. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burns.
- Preparation: Place the Cookeo appliance on a stable, flat surface. Gather any necessary tools, such as screwdrivers, if required for disassembling the old part or securing the new one.
