PARTS & FEATURES

Using your mini cupcake maker

Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean the Express Mini Cupcake Maker.

• DO NOT touch the Cooking Surface, Easy-Lift Tray surface or Cover while the appliance is in use.
• DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it’s hot and may cause injury.
• Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. Lift from the side.

Always remove the Easy-Lift Tray using the Silicone Handles.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD:
The removable Silicone Handles on the Easy-Lift Tray can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Do not allow children to play with the Mini Cupcake Maker.

1. Place the appliance on a stable dry surface. Lay the Easy-Lift Tray with Silicone Handles on top of the bottom Cooking Surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light (Photo A) will illuminate signalling that the Mini Cupcake Maker is heating up.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. You can now carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and grease both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil. Make sure each Built-in Cupcake Mold is properly lubricated (Photo B). Note: Aerosol cooking sprays often contain soy lecithin, an additive that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, avoid aerosols and instead grease cooking surfaces using a silicone basting brush or a non-aerosol spray bottle.

3. Pour 1 tablespoon of batter into each Cupcake Mold on the Bottom Cooking Surface (photo C).

4. Once the cupcakes are cooked to your preference, remove them from the bottom Cooking Surface using the Silicone Handles on the Easy-Lift Tray (photo D).
   NOTE: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.

5. Carefully flip the Easy-Lift tray to release your mini cupcakes. Use caution to not touch the surface of the Easy-Lift Tray (Photo E).

6. When finished cooking with the Maker, unplug it and allow it to cool completely before moving or cleaning (Photo F).
   NOTE: Use extreme caution when lifting the Easy-Lift Tray as it is extremely hot. Always lift by the Silicone Handles to prevent injury.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Unplug the Mini Cupcake Maker and allow it to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing.
• To prevent buildup of food or oil, clean the appliance after each use. Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surface and cupcake Molds, and Cover them. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.
• Do not submerge the appliance in water or any other liquids. The Mini Cupcake Maker is NOT dishwasher safe.
• The removable Easy-Lift Tray and Silicone Handles can be separately hand-washed and are dishwasher safe.
• Ensure the Mini Cupcake Maker is completely dry before storing.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the Cupcake Maker as this may damage the appliance and its nonstick coating.
• If any food remains baked on the Cooking Surfaces, apply a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Then scrub the Cooking Surface with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe from the Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth thoroughly and wipe again. If food remains, apply cooking oil once more and let sit for a few hours before scrubbing again.
