Parts

HOW TO OPERATE

1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and dry.

2. The Nonstick Cooking Surface should be lightly coated with a small amount of vegetable oil. Apply with a paper towel, or use a nonstick oil spray. The oil will help protect the nonstick quality of the cooking surface. This should be done periodically to maintain the nonstick quality.

3. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.

4. Preheat the appliance by closing the Lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
   

5. When the power is on, the Red Power Light will come on. The Red Light will turn off when the unit is preheated.

6. The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 3 minutes.

7. While the appliance is preheating, you may prepare the ingredients for your cake pops.

8. Raise the Lid using an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.

9. Fill each of the seven pastry wells in the Nonstick Cooking Surface with mixture.

10. Close the Lid using a pot holder or oven mitt. Make sure Lid is locked.

11. Steam may be released from appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.

12. The cooking time will range between 3-7 minutes, depending on the type of pastries being cooked and personal taste.

13. Once the pastries have completed cooking, raise the Lid with a pot holder or oven mitt. Remove the pastries from the Nonstick Cooking Surface with a plastic or wooden spoon. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may scratch and damage the Nonstick Cooking Surface.

14. If cooking more than one batch of pastries in a session, lower the Lid between batches to maintain the proper cooking temperature.

15. As soon as you are finished cooking, unplug appliance and allow to cool.

16. Once the appliance is cool, follow the directions in the Cleaning and Maintenance section to clean your MYMINI CAKE POP MAKER.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

Smoking
During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues burning off the Nonstick Cooking Surface and the Heating Element. Allow the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.

Tips for Making Cake Pops
In order to make cake pops with your MYMINI CAKE POP MAKER, we recommend the following tips:

• Use a recipe for a denser cake, like pound cake or cupcakes.
  Muffin mixes and sweet bread recipes also work well.

• Do not decorate cake pops until they have cooled completely.

• It is recommended that you dip one end of the bamboo sticks into frosting before inserting into the cooled cake balls. This will help the cake adhere to the stick better.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Please take care of your MYMINI CAKE POP MAKER by following these simple instructions and precautions. Cleaning is a snap.

• Disconnect from the electrical outlet by unplugging the appliance.
• Make sure the appliance is cool before cleaning.
• Clean the upper and lower Nonstick Cooking Surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry.
• Wipe the exterior with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry.
• Bamboo Sticks are also reusable if wiped clean with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and allowed to dry thoroughly.
• DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
• NEVER immerse appliance or cord in water.
  It is that simple!
