Instructions for Use

Before First Use
Clean the Pie Maker as outlined in the section entitled ‘Care and Maintenance’.

NOTE: When using the Pie 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 Pie Maker.

Using the Double Deep-fill Pie 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 prevent pies from sticking whilst cooking.

STEP 1: Position the Pie Maker on a tab, stable, heat-resistant surface.
STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the Pie Maker at the mains power supply. The red power indicator light will illuminate.
STEP 3: Preheat the Pie Maker for approx. 5 minutes until the green ready indicator light illuminates.
STEP 4: Using the pastry cutter (included), create a top and base for the pie.
STEP 5: Place the pastry base (large pastry cut-outj into the pie mould, taking extreme care not to touch the preheated non-stick cooking plates.
STEP 6: Spoon the desired filling into the pie mould, taking core not to overfill. The filling should be pre-cooked.
STEP 7: Position the pastry top (small pastry cut-out) on top of the pie and carefully close the lid of the Pie Maker with the cool-touch handle.
STEP 8: Cook the pies for approx. 10 minutes.
STEP 9: Use heat-resistant oven gloves to carefully open the lid to check if the pies are cooked. If not, close the lid and continue to cook for a further 2—3 minutes.
STEP 10: Once cooking is complete, switch off and unplug the Pie Maker from the mains power supply.
STEP 11: Using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spoon, carefully remove the pies from the Pie Maker. This will prevent damage to the non-stick coated cooking plates.
STEP 12: Leave the lid open and allow the Pie Maker to cool.

NOTE: Always preheat the non-stick coated cooking plates before starting to cook. During use, the green ready indicator light will cycle on and off to signal that the Pie Maker is maintaining the optimum temperature.
CAUTION: Exercise caution during cooking: the Pie Maker will emit steam.
WARNING: The Pie Maker and cooking plates get very hot during use: always use oven-resistant gloves to avoid injury.

Storage

Check that the Pie Maker is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place.
