NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

NOTES ON THE CORD

• B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type3-wire cord; and

PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER

Getting to Know Your Mini Maker
Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using For The First Time

• Remove all parts included in the box.
• Wash all the parts thoroughly (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section for more information).

NOTE: Your Mini Maker may emit a small amount of smoke and/or odor when you use it for the first time. This is normal and harmless, however we recommend that you do not eat the first treat you make with the Mini Maker.

Using Your Mini Maker

1. Select the plate for the treat of choice.

2. To change the plates, unplug the Mini Maker, let the appliance cool for 20 minutes. Once the appliance has cooled, pull the plate removal latch to release the bottom and top treat plates.
   CAUTION: When swapping the treat plates, ensure the plates match up before locking them in the Mini Maker. Do not pour batter into the Mini Maker with plates removed.

3. Plug the cord into your 120 V AC wall outlet.

4. The Indicator light will turn off when the appliance reaches proper cooking temperature. Once heated, ready times will be faster.

5. When the Indicator Light turns off, pull the locking latch and using the handle, lift the top lid to the open position and apply a light layer of vegetable oil, olive oil or canola oil to the cooking plates. Pour and spread the treat batter evenly onto the lower plate until the plate cavity is full and the peak areas of the plate are covered.
   CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING PLATES AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.

6. Using the handle, lower the top lid.

7. Allow the Mini Maker to cook for 3-4 minutes, according to recipe directions. The Indicator light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.

8. When the Indicator Light turns OFF, using oven mitts gently open the lid by lifting the lid handle; if it pulls, continue baking for 30 seconds and test again. If the treats need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and continue cooking at 20 second intervals until the desired color is achieved.

9. Wearing oven mitts, remove treats from the cooking plates using a non-metallic utensil. A wooden or heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the treats.
   CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or metal objects.
   WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates are cool.

10. To make more treats, close the Mini Maker until the Indicator Light appears off, then repeat from step 4.

11. When finished baking treats, remove plug from wall outlet.

12. After it has sufficiently cooled, the heating plates may be wiped clean.

Tips For Perfectly Baked Treats

1. Stir your treat batter only until large chunks of dry ingredients are dissolved. Over mixing the treat batter can cause the treats to be hard.
2. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized treats depends on the type and consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully so as to cover the peaks in the plate.
3. When making softer variety of treats, once they are baked, make sure to cut the treats into halves or in 4 quarters and support them with a spatula at the bottom so it is easier to take them out from the plates, since softer treats can break easily.
4. When making large batches to serve at once, you can keep the treats fresh & crisp by placing them in a preheated oven at 200°F. Take them out using oven mitts when you are ready to serve.
5. To avoid treats with a moist base, kept the treats on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the crispness of the treats.
6. You can reheat your treats in the Mini Maker. Pre-heat the Mini Maker. Once preheated, place the treats on the lower plate so they fit the grooves correctly, then close the Mini Maker and heat for 1 minute, checking every 30 seconds to avoid burning.
7. You can also freeze your treats to eat later. After the freshly baked treats have cooled completely, pack them in a covered container or plastic freezer bag. Make sure to separate the treats with a sheet of wax paper between each treat. To reheat the frozen treats, place in a preheated oven, toaster oven or toaster until they are hot.

For lower sugar treats and/or toppings:

• Use sugar substitutes.
• Use organic agave nectar.
• Use low-sugar preserves, marmalades or jellies.
• Use macerated dried fruits such as figs, dates, prunes.
• Use apple or mango sauce.
• Use sugar-free maple syrup.

For lower fat, lower cholesterol treats:

• Use skim milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.
• Adapt recipes by eliminating egg yolks.
• Always use liquid vegetable oils such as canola, corn or sunflower, instead of butter.

For higher fiber treats:

• Substitute half of the recipe white flour with whole-wheat flour.
• Substitute one-quarter of the recipe white flour with wheat or oat bran.
• Use macerated high-fiber dried fruits such as figs, dates, baby prunes.

User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician if the product requires servicing.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Unplug the treat maker, and allow it to cool down before cleaning.

3. Brush the non-stick cooking plates with a clean, heat-proof brush or cloth. If necessary, clean plates in hot, soapy water.
   NOTE: Cooking plates are top rack dishwasher safe.
   NOTE: If you choose to wash the cooking plates in a dishwasher, the bottom of the pan will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent. A gray residue may also form on the skillet bottom which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
   CAUTION: Never submerge the appliance body in water or place it in the dishwasher.

4. Use only plastic or wooden utensils on the heating plates. Metal may damage the plates.

5. Use a soft cloth on the heating plates and occasionally a metal polish intended for stainless steel on the outer housing. Never use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.

6. If there is hardened batter on the plates, pour a little oil and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes. You can then wipe clean with a paper towel.
