FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

1. Removable Baking Pan with Lid- The Removable Baking Pan has a nonstick interior, metal open/close locking clasps and a wire handle to assist with movement and cleanup. The Baking Pan and Lid must always be used when baking or cooking in any Mode in the Cake Maker and the Lid must always be securely locked with the locking clasps while using.
   The Baking Pan is designed to hold batters, doughs and other semi-soft ingredients, however, the Cake Maker is not designed to slow cook, braise, or cook foods, other than yogurt, in a long-low heat method. See Step-by-Step Instructions for baking foods in this Cake Maker.
   The Removable Baking Pan holds the Automatic Spatula in the center drive shaft of the Pan. The Automatic Spatula turns and mixes doughs, batters, and other baked goods. Align the Spatula in the Pan as indicated in the Step by Step Instructions. Not all Modes use the Auto Spatula, as can be noted in the Step by Step Instructions.
   The Removable Baking Pan will accommodate a generous 4½ cups of cake batter or pastry dough. However, as leavening agents act differently, you should not fill the Pan more than one-half to two-thirds full to ensure there is enough room in the Pan for your cake or bakery goods to rise without overflowing the Pan. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling or removing the hot Removable Baking Pan from the Cake Maker.
2. The Cake Maker Base- The Cake Maker Base holds the Removable Baking Pan and contains the following features:

• Lid with Baking Mode Menu
• Pre-programmed LED Control Panel with Mode Dial, Preset Time and Baking options
• Interior Drive that securely holds the Removable Baking Pan
• Secure-Hold Feet on the bottom of the Base to add non-slip protection
• Heating element and baking system pre-programmed for each type of Mode usage

3. Cake Maker Lid- The easy-open Lid of the Cake Maker offers complete access to the Removable Baking Pan and the interior of the Base. Use pot holders or oven mitts when removing foods after baking, as the exterior, interior of the Base, and the Pan become hot.
   The Cake Maker Lid contains the Baking Mode Menu, an easy-reference list of options for the 13 cycles available in the Cake Maker.
   The vent on top of the Lid may release a small amount of warm air as foods are baked. Avoid placing your face or hands over the vent.
4. Accessories-
   Handle & Spatula Pin – Included in your package is a special Pin, created for lifting the handle of the Pan when baking is complete. Use the small tip to easily lift the wire handle, grasp it with a pot holder and lift the Pan from the oven. The Pin is also designed to remove the Auto Spatula from the bottom of the cake after baking and cooling, if needed. Simply insert the small tip of the Pin under the Auto Spatula and lift it out.
   Measuring Cup & Spoon – These handy tools make baking even easier. Use the measuring cup for liquids such as water, milk or oil and use the measuring spoon for dry spices such as baking powder or baking soda.

PRE-PROGRAMMED LED CONTROL PANEL

The Pre-Programmed Control Panel houses the LED Display and electronic platform for the Baking Modes and specialty options, including such features as making yogurt, mixing ingredients or proofing and rising yeast breads.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Hints & Tips for Making Delicious Cakes

• Lightly coat the Removable Cake Pan and Lid before adding ingredients. This will assist in removing your cake or other bakery goods from the Pan when done.
• When preparing cakes and other bakery goods, first add liquid ingredients, such as water and oil, then add eggs or other items. Add dry ingredients last. There is no need to mix the ingredients in the Pan before baking unless you choose to. The Auto Spatula will mix everything to perfection during the mixing process.
• Use a pot holder or oven mitt to grasp the handle of the Pan when removing hot foods. Or, use the Pin provided to lift the handle up, then grasp with a pot holder to remove. Lift the Pan straight up and out when removing it from the Cake Maker.
• Ensure that the Pan does not become over-filled with ingredients. The Pan holds 4½ fluid cups of cake batter or dough, however some foods with active leavening agents may overfill the Pan. If the Pan is more than two-thirds full, remove some batter and refrigerate to make a second cake.
• Make brownies in your Cake Maker in a flash! Place the Auto Spatula in the Pan and, using a brownie mix designed for 9 x 9 pan, first add liquid ingredients, eggs and oil. Add dry ingredients after the liquid. Bake on the Basic cycle. As the batter bakes, one giant brownie is formed. Remove when done and top with scoops of ice cream. A treat for the entire family!
