Before Using; How To Use - Babycakes PM-44 Instruction Manual

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
IMPORTANT
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal
and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
1. Carefully unpack the pie maker and all parts. Remove all packaging materials, including any
stickers or labels.
2. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the pie maker with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe
dry with a soft cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE PIE MAKER OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.
3. Position the pie maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.
4. It is recommended to operate this appliance on a separate outlet and circuit from other
appliances to avoid overloading the circuit.
1. Position the pie maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Release the lid latch and lift the lid to the open position.
3. To maintain the quality of the nonstick it is recommended to periodically coat the nonstick
surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. This can be done with a paper towel or with a
nonstick oil spray. Wipe off any excess oil.
4. DO NOT preheat the pie maker. Prepare pie crusts and all ingredients in advance before
plugging in the pie maker.
5. (See Fig 1 through 5 on page 5) If baking a single-crust pie (lower crust only), cut the lower
crust circles using the large side of the Crust Cutting Tool. While the surfaces are still cool,
form the lower crusts to the baking reservoirs using the Crust Forming Tool. Add ingredients
(if required) and bake according to directions. If baking a double-crust pie (lower and upper
crusts), cut the appropriate amount of lower and upper crust circles. While the surfaces are
still cool, form the lower crusts to the baking reservoirs using the Crust Forming Tool. Add
ingredients (about 2 to 4 tablespoons or as called for in recipes). Place an upper crust circle
over the ingredients and bake according to directions.
6. Close the lid of the pie maker, checking that the lid latch engages in the locked position.
7. Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet, preferably on a separate outlet from other appliances
to prevent the circuit from being overloaded. When plugged in, the red POWER light will be
illuminated.
8. In a few minutes while the pie maker is cooking, the green READY light will illuminate. This
is linked to the thermostat of the pie maker and indicates the pie maker is cooking properly.
Because it is recommended to start baking in a room temperature pie maker, the READY light
is not a good indicator of food being finished.
9. Actual cooking time will vary depending on ingredients and type of pies being prepared. As a
general guideline, most recipes require 12 to 15 minutes of cooking time per batch.
10. Open the top lid using an oven mitt or pot holder to avoid making contact with hot surfaces.
CAUTION: Surfaces of the pie maker are hot. To avoid accidental burns or contact
with the hot surfaces or steam being released while cooking, always open and
close the lid of the pie maker using an oven mitt or pot holder.
