Parts & Features

Before using your PERSONAL DONUT maker

Remove all packaging materials.
Check that the Donut Maker has no visible damage and that no parts are missing.
Thoroughly wash and dry the appliance before first use, or after prolonged storage.
Preheating is essential to make donuts cook faster. To preheat, plug the polarized power cord into a wall socket and wait for the Indicator Light to turn on.
Once the Indicator Light has turned off, the Donut Maker is fully heated.

Using your PERSONAL DONUT maker

Chef Tip: Before first use, remove all packaging materials and thoroughly clean your Donut Maker.

Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while the appliance is in use.

DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury.

Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. Lift from the side.

Using your PERSONAL DONUT maker

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 Donut Maker is heating up.
Chef Tip: Lay a heat-resistant lining–such as a cooking tray– beneath the appliance to shield your countertop from any potential drips.
Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking_{temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Now,} you're ready to get cooking (photo B)!
Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil (photo C).
Place or pour batter onto the Cooking Surface (photo D) until about 3/4 full and close the Cover.

information Aerosol cooking sprays often contain additives that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, use a spray bottle and a neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.) to lubricate cooking surfaces.

Once the donut is cooked to your preference, carefully remove it 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.
When you have finished cooking, place your donut on a wire rack to cool and decorate. Unplug your Donut Maker and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning (photo F).
Chef Tip: to frost donuts, simply place a wire rack over wax paper.

Cleaning & maintenance

Always allow the appliance to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing. Do not submerge appliance in water or any other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Donut Maker.
In order to keep your Donut Maker in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the appliance after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.
Unplug Donut Maker and allow it to cool completely.
Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surface and Cover. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.
Thoroughly dry the Donut Maker before storing.
If there is food burned onto the Cooking Surface, pour on a little cooking oil and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Scrub the Cooking Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, pour on cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Donut Maker and its nonstick Cooking Surface.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
The Donut Maker does not turn on	The appliance is not plugged in.	Plug the Donut Maker in a grounded wall socket.
The batter is not done after the recommended time	The batter is clumpy or too dense.	Allow an additional few minutes of cooking.
Batter is cooked unevenly in the Donut Maker	Various batters need different amounts of exposure to heat. Batter is being cooked improperly.	Make sure nothing is stuck to the Donut Mold Plate that may be blocking the heat from reaching the batter. To properly cook the batter in the recipe guide, bake on one side for 1 ½ minutes. Then, using a toothpick, flip donuts and bake for another 4 minutes.
The Donut Maker won't close	Something may be stuck between the Cover Lid Handle and the Donut Mold Plate.	Remove item that is stuck between handle and grill plate and clean any impacted surface.
The Donut Maker's non-stick coating does not work	The nonstick coating may be blocked by dried grease or crust from a previous donut.	Wipe the Nonstick Donut Mold Plates with a soft, moist towel or another non-abrasive cleaning utensil.
