INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the MINI CUPCAKE MAKER! Now you can cook delicious cupcakes and other pastries at home without even turning on an oven. It’s great for snack time, party time or anytime! Delectable desserts and hors d’oeuvres are ready in minutes. Use your imagination and have fun!

PARTS & ASSEMBLY

HOW TO OPERATE

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

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

3. The Nonstick Cooking Surface should be lightly coated with a small amount of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel or with 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.
   NOTE: You can also line the pastry wells with miniature paper cups.

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 light will stay on while appliance is preheating.

6. The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 3 minutes. The Red Light will turn off when the appliance is ready to cook.

7. While the appliance is preheating, you may prepare the ingredients for your mini cupcakes.

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

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

12. 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.

13. If cooking more than one batch of pastries in a session, after removal of the first batch, lower the Lid to maintain heat until ready to cook the next batch.

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

15. Once the appliance is cool, follow the directions in the Cleaning and Maintenance section to clean your MINI CUPCAKE 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.

• Disconnect from the electrical outlet by unplugging the appliance.
• Make sure the appliance is cool before cleaning.
• Clean the upper and lower Nonstick Cooking Surface with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry.
