Cleaning and Maintenance of Silicone Molds

1. Before first use, clean it with clean water or dish soap to remove surface dust. Before using the mold for baking, apply a small amount of butter inside the mold. When using a continuous mold, you can add water to any empty slots; burning without a mold is prohibited.

2. After each use, soak it in diluted dish soap for 10–30 minutes. When cleaning, use soft cloths; avoid using rough cleaning balls or other materials to prevent scratches on the mold. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and store it in a container. Silicone can generate static electricity, which may attract tiny particles and dust from the air. When not in use for a long time, never expose it directly to air.

3. When used in the oven, it must be placed in the middle part of the oven, maintaining a distance of about 10 cm from the heating tube and 5 cm from the oven walls to prevent damage to the mold due to high temperatures.

4. Some molds have cuts—these were made with openings during production to facilitate demolding for buyers. Without these cuts, demolding is not possible. When using the mold, align the cut edges, wrap them with plastic wrap or put a rubber band around them, and then pour the liquid in.
