BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the Mini Donut Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
2. Before using your Mini Donut Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates
with a damp cloth to remove all dust, and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly
damp, soft cloth or sponge.
CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance.
NEVER IMMERSE MINI DONUT MAKER BODY IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!
3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat surface. Keep the Mini Donut Maker closed
until use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Firmly press the handle's latch lock and lift the top lid to the open position.
2. Before baking the first mini donuts of the day, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil
to both the top and bottom mini donut plates. Spread with an absorbent kitchen towel
and wipe off any excess oil.
3. Plug unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet to preheat. The orange POWER ON light
and green READY light will illuminate. Close the lid.
NOTE: When your Mini Donut Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke
or odor. This is normal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not affect
the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first mini donuts
prepared in the Mini Donut Maker, it is recommended that these be discarded.
4. While preheating, prepare mini donut batter.
5. After approximately 2 to 3 minutes, the green READY light will turn off, indicating the unit
is preheated and is ready for use.
6. For best results, use a non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat the non-stick plates before
cooking. This will assist in the removal of the mini donuts after cooking.
7. Recipes will vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown quicker.
Note the perfect bake times for each batter recipe for future use.
8. Place a scant tablespoon of donut batter into the center of each of the mini donut molds
on the lower cooking plate. Spread slightly to fill the entire shape. Try not to overfill,
batter will expand when cooked.
9. Lower the top lid, press down so that the latch lock is secured.
10. The green READY light will turn off once the mini donuts are ready; cook 2 to 3 minutes
until brown on outside.
11. Wearing oven mitts, wipe the outside clean with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth
as necessary.
12. At the end of the cook time, press the handle's latch lock and lift the top lid gently;
if it pulls, continue cooking for 30 seconds and test again.
NOTE: If the mini donuts need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and continue baking
for 15 seconds until the desired color is achieved.
NOTE: As the mini donuts use a small amount of batter, and the Mini Donut Maker plates
are very hot, the cooking time is generally shorter rather than longer.
Be careful not to burn mini donuts.
13. Wearing oven mitts, remove mini donuts from the cooking plate using a non-metallic
utensil. A plastic spatula or spoon will help to remove the mini donut.
NOTE: If additional mini donuts are to be baked, keep the Mini Donut Maker closed
to retain heat. Always wait until the green READY light turns off before baking more mini
donuts.
NOTE: Mini Donuts made later will bake faster because extra heat has been retained.
It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter cooking time to accommodate.
14. When baking is complete, after mini donuts have been removed, unplug the power cord
from electric outlet. Lift the top lid to expose the cooking plates and allow unit to cool.
15. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.
