Frequently Asked Questions - OVEN ACTIVYS AHK1 MOULINEX

How to preheat the oven before cooking?

Preheating is not always necessary because your oven is powerful. If you wish to preheat, set the thermostat to the desired temperature and let it heat empty for about 5 to 10 minutes. For grilling, a 4-minute preheat is recommended.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

No, it is forbidden to place aluminum foil on the interior walls of the oven. This could damage the surfaces or cause a fire. Use the provided drip tray instead.

How to clean the self-cleaning walls of the oven?

After greasy cooking, heat the empty oven with the thermostat at maximum for 10 minutes, door closed. Greases will decompose. Then clean with a damp sponge and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive products.

What to do if the oven does not heat up?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working power outlet and that the cord is not damaged. Ensure the timer is set to a non-zero time. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How to use the rotisserie function?

Truss the meat, skewer it on the spit and fix the forks. Place the spit support in the holes on the left wall. Insert the pointed end into the drive opening on the right, then place the other end in the support. Set the selector to Grill + Rotisserie and set the timer.

Why is there smoke during first use?

A slight emission of smoke is normal during first use. It comes from the burning off of manufacturing residues or protective coatings. Heat the oven to 280°C for 15 minutes empty to eliminate these residues.

How to set the timer for a time less than 25 minutes?

Turn the timer knob to 30 minutes, then turn back to the desired time. This ensures the setting is properly taken into account.

Can I leave the oven on unattended?

No, as with any cooking appliance, close supervision is necessary. Never leave the oven on unattended, especially when using the grill where the door must remain ajar.

How to avoid burns during use?

The temperature of the door and exterior walls is high. Use the handles and knobs, wear oven mitts. Do not touch the metal parts of the oven. Do not move the appliance while in operation.

Where to find the serial number of my oven?

The serial number is on the rating plate affixed to the appliance, usually at the back or underneath. Keep it for any after-sales service requests.
