Before First Use

STEP 1; Check that the snack maker is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply.
STEP 2: Wipe the snack maker housing with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
STEP 3: Clean the accessories in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: When using the snack maker for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside.
Allow for sufficient ventilation around the snack maker.
Using the Mini Snack Maker
Before each use, carefully apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the non-stick coated cooking plates, rubbing it in with a paper towel. This will help to prolong the life of
the non-stick coating and stop the batter from sticking.
STEP 1: Prepare the batter.
STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the snack maker at the mains power supply.
The indicator light will illuminate red, signalling that the snack maker has been switched on and is heating up.
STEP 3: Preheat the snack maker for approx. 2 minutes. The indicator light will switch off once the required temperature has been reached.
STEP 4: Carefully open the lid using heat-resistant oven gloves.
STEP 5: Pour some of the batter into the centre of the lower non-stick coated cooking plate and then carefully close the lid. To avoid spillages, slowly pour a small amount of the batter into the centre of the plate and wait for it to evenly distribute before adding more.
STEP 6: Cook for approx. 6-10 minutes or until golden brown; check periodically by carefully opening the lid using heat-resistant gloves. Avoid opening the waffle maker
before 4 minutes of cooking, as this will prevent the batter from rising. If needed, the batter can be cooked a little while longer, until they are browned to preference.
STEP 7: Once cooking is complete, use heat-resistant oven gloves to carefully open the lid and then remove the contents of the snack maker with a heat- resistant plastic or wooden spatula.
When creating multiple batches, close the lid after removing each batch to maintain the heat.
STEP 8: Switch off and unplug the snack maker from the mains power supply. Leave the lid open and allow to cool.
NOTE: Do not overfill the non-stick coated cooking plate; the batter will expand whilst cooking.
Always preheat the non-stick coated cooking plates before starting to cook. During use the red power/temperature indicator will cycle on and off to indicate that the snack maker is maintaining the temperature.
CAUTION: Exercise caution during cooking; the snack maker will emit steam.
WARNING: The snack maker and cooking plates get very hot during use; always use heat-resistant gloves to avoid injury.

Hints and Tips

1. If using a batter, slowly pour a small amount into the non-stick coated cooking plates and wait for it to distribute evenly before adding more, to avoid the risk of overfilling.

2. Sieving dry ingredients, such as flour, will help to make a smooth consistency and avoid any lumps.

3. Avoid opening the snack maker during cooking, as it will allow heat to escape and prevent bubbles from forming.

4. The best indicator as to when the food is ready is when steam stops escaping from the snack maker.

5. Use a small amount of oil to precondition the non-stick coated cooking plates.
   Not only will this help to protect the non-stick coating, it will also make it easier to remove the cooked food.

6. Using heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils will help to protect the non-stick coating.

7. If short of time, prepare the ingredients in advance so that all that is left to do is cook the food.

Storage

Check that the snack maker is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the snack maker; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
