Using Your Mini Dog Treat Maker

Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean your Mini Dog Treat Maker.

Before first use

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light (photo A) will illuminate, signaling that the Mini Dog Treat Maker is heating up.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle (photo B). Now, you’re ready to get cooking!

3. If you like, spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of cooking spray (photo C). This will help the treats release more easily.

4. Place or pour about 1 tsp of dough onto each mold in the Cooking Surface (photo D) and close the Cover.

5. Once the dog treats are cooked (see cooking times in our Recipe Guide on page 17), carefully remove them from the Cooking Surface with a heat-resistant nylon, wood, or silicone cooking utensil (photo E).

NOTE: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.

6. When you have finished cooking, unplug your Mini Dog Treat Maker and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning.

Troubleshooting

While Dash products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the problems listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions recommended below or not included on this page, please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-800-898-6970 or support@bydash.com.

1. The light on the Mini Dog Treat Maker keeps shutting off.

This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off.

2. How do I know when the Mini Dog Treat Maker is heated and ready to use?

When the Mini Dog Treat Maker reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!

3. There is no On/Off Button. How do I turn the Mini Dog Treat Maker off and on?

To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When you’re done cooking, turn off the Mini Dog Treat Maker by unplugging it.

4. When using my Mini Dog Treat Maker, the Cover gets very hot. Is this normal?

Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Mini Dog Treat Maker, always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. To prevent personal injury, DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury. Lift from the side.

5. After using my Mini Dog Treat Maker a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What is happening?

There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, pour on a little cooking oil and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, pour on cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.

6. The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to heat.

Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
Check to make sure the power outlet is operating correctly.
Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment or building.
