Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing this quality Courant Donut Maker! This appliance is fun for trying new recipe combinations. No assembly is required. This guide will cover the steps used to prepare donuts with your donut maker. Please read all of these instructions before first use to safely get the most out of your new appliance.
Before using your donut maker for the first time:

1. Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all labels and packaging materials.
   Do not plug the appliance in yet.

2. Take special care when unpacking. Ensure there is no damage.

3. Clean the appliance (see the Care, Cleaning and Maintenance section later in this guide). When the appliance is completely dry, place it on a dry, stable, level surface. Ensure it is kept away from any surface edges.

During initial use, you may notice a slight odor due to the release of manufacturing residues. This is normal and will disappear after a few uses.

What’s in the Box?

Please verify your box contains the following items:

1. Donut Maker (see next page for components)
2. User’s Guide
3. Warranty (inside this User Guide)
4. Tech Support Card

Getting to Know Your New Donut Maker

1. Cooking surface
2. Handle
3. Indicator lights (green and red)

Operating the Donut Maker

**** Do not plug in the appliance until it is time to heat the unit and start the cooking process. Do not leave it plugged in if it is not in use!

1. Before using your donut maker for the first time, open the unit by lifting upward on the handles. The top section will rest in a vertical position.

2. Clean the cooking surface thoroughly by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened with hot water. Dry the surface with a cloth or paper towel.

3. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

4. The red power indicator light will turn on. The donut maker will need to preheat for 5 minutes before baking. Use this time to make the batter. When the unit has reached the proper temperature and is ready, the green indicator light will turn on.
   CAUTION: THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE GETS HOT DURING COOKING AND PREHEATING.

5. Fill each donut hole with batter. See the next page for an example recipe. If the batter is thick, use a heaping tablespoon. If the batter is thin or runny, use a level tablespoon. Fill the donut holes without spilling batter onto the cooking surface for a round, even donut.

6. Make sure the green indicator light is now on and close the lid.
   Note: The hinge is designed to be somewhat loose. This allows the donuts to rise and for steam to escape.

7. Let the donuts cook. Follow suggested baking times in the recipe used.

8. Remove the donuts with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils.
   **** When removing cooked donuts from the machine, BE CAREFUL AS THEY WILL BE HOT.

9. When finished using the appliance, be sure to unplug it!
   If additional donuts are to be cooked immediately after, keep the donut maker closed to retain heat. Always wait until the green ready light turns on before baking more donuts.

Additional Operating Instructions and Tips

• When making batter, try not to exceed the amount required to make a full batch of 7 donuts. Prepare the amounts necessary, then make fresh batter for the second batch. This is because the batter should be fresh and it can thin out from sitting too long.
• Remove the donuts with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils.
• Do not place anything but the donut batter ingredients in the appliance when cooking.
• Keep the lid closed while cooking. Only open the lid when cooking is finished.
• The unit is designed for donuts to be eaten while hot and fresh. However, donuts can also be baked ahead of time for snacks and lunches. Cool them on a rack for 10 minutes. Then, place them in a plastic bag and seal tightly.
• Donuts can also be frosted after cooling. Frost with your favorite flavor and decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar.
• Donuts can be reheated in the microwave. Place donuts on a paper towel and microwave for a few seconds only. The cooking time or power settings on the microwave will vary, depending on whether donuts have been at room temperature or if they are cold.
• The donut maker has a non-stick surface for even baking and easy clean–up. A small amount of oil can be added to the unit for additional flavor, if desired. Cooking spray is not recommended, as it may harm the non-stick surface.

Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance

There is no disassembly required to clean this unit.

1. **** Always switch off the appliance and unplug it before cleaning.
2. **** Do not clean the unit until it has fully cooled.
3. Clean the power/base unit with a damp, lint-free cloth but do not get it wet. Do not use abrasive tools or harsh cleaning solutions.
4. Clean the cooking surface thoroughly by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened with hot water. When cleaning, do not run the water directly onto cooking surfaces. Dry the surface with a cloth or paper towel.

CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER. THIS APPLIANCE HAS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND SHOULD NEVER COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER
