HOW TO OPERATE

1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
2. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.
3. Coat the Cooking Plates 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.
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 Green
Ready Light will stay off while the appliance is preheating.
6. The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 3 minutes. The Green
Ready Light will turn on when the appliance is ready to cook.
7. While the appliance is preheating, you may prepare pie crust and fillings.
8. When the dough for the pie crust is ready, roll the dough out onto
a floured surface. You may need to periodically sprinkle the dough
with flour to ensure that dough does not get too sticky.
9. Cut dough using the Pie Crust Cutter by simply pressing the Pie Crust
Cutter into the rolled out pie dough. The larger side of Pie Crust Cutter is
for the bottom of the pie crust. The smaller side of the Pie Crust Cutter
is for the top of the pie. Pull dough from around the Pie Crust Cutter.
10. Raise the Lid of the MINI PIE MAKER using an oven
mitt or potholder to prevent accidental burns.
11. Carefully place the bottom pie crust dough onto each circular well in the
Lower Pie Cooking Plate. BE VERY CAREFUL as the Lower Pie Cooking
Plate will be EXTREMELY HOT. Do not allow children to do this step.
12. Spoon pie filling into the bottom pie crust.
13. Carefully place the top pie crust dough on top of the pie filling. BE VERY
CAREFUL as the Lower Pie Cooking Plate will be EXTREMELY HOT. Do not
allow children to do this step.
14. Close the Lid using a potholder or oven mitt.
Make sure Lid is locked by closing latch.
The crust will crimp automatically.
Steam may be released from appliance during
cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with
steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
15. The cooking time will range between 5-8 minutes
depending on the filling used. Pies are done when top crusts are golden brown.
16. Once the pies have completed cooking, unlock and raise the Lid with a
potholder or oven mitt. Remove the pies from the Lower Pie Cooking
Plate with a plastic or wooden kitchen utensil. DO NOT use metal
utensils, as they may scratch and damage the Cooking Plate.
17. If cooking more than one batch of pies in a session, after removal of the first
batch, lower the Lid to maintain heat until ready to cook the next batch.
