General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before rst use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase
receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the appliance rating label. If it does not match, contact our
after sales support line and do not use the appliance.
• Exclusive outlet/separate circuit: Insert the plug firmly into a properly earthed
mains socket that is within easy reach so that the plug can easily be removed if
necessary. This appliance should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.
• No timer: Do not connect the appliance to an external switching device such
as an external timer or a separate remote control system.
• WARNING: Do not immerse! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. If it falls into water, immediately
unplug it from the electrical outlet. Do not touch it or reach into the water.
• Protect from moisture: Do not expose the electrical connections to water. Do
not use the appliance, or touch the plug, with wet or damp hands, on a damp
floor or when the appliance itself is wet. Do not spill liquids into the product.
• Electrical safety: Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• Protect the power cord: Do not kink, squash or strain the power cord and
protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces,
including the appliance's pie moulds, when it is in use. Do not place anything
on top of the cord. Do not wrap it around the appliance, and never pull the
cord to lift up, carry or unplug the appliance.

Getting Started
Before First Use
• Unpack: This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging carton and
materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs
to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when
it is not in use. In the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle all
packaging materials where possible.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children,
so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach. Dispose of any plastic
wrapping safely.
• Inspect: Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect the cord and plug
for damage. Inspect all other parts of the appliance for visual damage. Do not
use the appliance if anything appears to be damaged or not working properly. In
case of damage, contact our after sales support centre for advice.
• Read: Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and warnings
in this manual. Refer to the Product Overview, opposite, to familiarise yourself
with the product and identify all parts. Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions on the previous pages.
• Clean: Place the appliance on a flat, level and dry surface, close to an electrical
outlet. Open the handle locking latch and open the lid.
Wipe the upper and lower pie moulds with a damp cloth to remove any dust
from transportation. Never immerse the appliance or cord in water or run
water directly on the pie moulds! Dry thoroughly. Close the lid and wipe the
outside surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
• Condition: Before first use, condition the non-stick coated pie moulds for long-
term protection. Plug in the power plug and turn on the power. The moulds are
preheated when the green Ready indicator comes on. Unplug the appliance
and carefully spread a small amount of vegetable oil onto the preheated moulds
using a silicone brush or paper towel. Exercise care, as the moulds will be hot.
Leave the coating on the moulds but wipe off any excess with a paper towel.
There is no reason to season the moulds again.
NOTE: Do not use aerosol cooking spray as the chemicals these sprays
contain can build up on non-stick surfaces and reduce their efficiency.
When first connected to the power supply, the unit may emit a little smoke
or odour, but this is no cause for concern; it is due to the element and
components being new. Ensure good ventilation.

Instructions
Using the Pie Maker
Preparation
• Prepare your pie filling; recipes start on page 16. Set the filling aside to cool.
• Prepare your pie crusts. Unless the recipe states otherwise, we recommend
using shortcrust pastry for the pie base and puff pastry for the top.
• Let frozen, ready rolled pastry thaw for 5–10 minutes before cutting it to
shape with the reversible pastry cutter; use the larger side for the pie base
and the smaller for the top. The slits in the base crust allow you to overlap
the dough for a better fit in the mould.
Preheating
• Place the Pie Maker on a level and stable, heat and flameproof work surface,
with enough room for ventilation all around it.
• The handle lock (Fig. 1) must be closed when
using the appliance. Close the lid and push the
latch towards the back to lock.
• Unwind the power cord, insert the plug into the
mains power supply and switch on power at the
outlet. The red Power light indicates that the Pie
Maker is powered and preheating.
• After about 3–8 minutes, when the green Ready indicator lights up, the
Pie Maker is ready to use. The light will cycle off and on as the thermostat
in the unit maintains the correct operating temperature. Always keep the lid
closed when preheating or in-between uses.
Baking pies
• Disengage the handle lock and open the preheated Pie Maker. Carefully
place your (large) cut out pie base over the lower pie mould, taking care as
the mould surface will be hot. Overlap the pastry slits to ensure they are
properly joined to form the pie base.
• Add about 2 level cups of your cooled filling to 3/4 fill the mould. The weight
of the filling will cause the dough to drop down into the mould. You can also
use the bottom of a ladle to gently press the filling into the mould, however,
take care not to tear the pastry.
WARNING! Cooking surfaces are hot. Never touch them directly with your
hands.
• Place your (small) cut out pie top over the pie filling, close the cover and
push down the locking latch until you hear it click into place, indicating that
the handles are securely locked.
• We recommend you set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes, depending on the
filling and your desired level of browning. During baking, the green Ready
light will cycle on and off, indicating that the correct temperature is being
maintained.
• At the end of the baking time, pull up the handle locking latch and carefully
lift the lid. If your pie needs additional browning, simply close the lid and
cook for an extra few minutes.
• When your pie is cooked to your liking, unplug the Pie Maker from the wall
outlet. Carefully remove the pie from the mould by using a non-metallic
(silicone, nylon or wooden) spatula.
CAUTION! Do not use metal utensils as this will damage the non-stick
surface.
• Let the Pie Maker cool down completely before cleaning and storage.
WARNING! The Pie Maker gets hot! When in use or until it has cooled
completely, do not touch any of the metal surfaces. Use the cool-touch
handle to open and close the Pie Maker.
Instructions (Cont.)
CAUTION!
• Be careful to avoid burns! Hot steam may escape during baking and when
opening the appliance, and the pie moulds get very hot during use.
• Do not use a knife, fork or any other sharp object when removing the pie from
the moulds as this will damage the non-stick cooking surfaces.
Baking Times
• Baking a pie in the preheated Pie Maker can take between 10 and 20
minutes, depending on the desired level of browning and the filling – fruit or
vegetable pies generally take a little less time than meat pies.
• Most pies will cook in about 15 minutes. Open the lid briefly and check after
10 minutes and if the pastry looks too pale, add a little more time until golden
brown.

Hints for Best Results
• Pu pastry for pie tops: For light and fluffy pie tops we recommend
using puff pastry. Frozen, ready rolled puff pastry sheets can generally be
bought from supermarkets. Defrost the pastry sheet(s) according to packet
instructions, and use them straight after defrosting.
• Shortcrust pastry for pie bases: For the base of your pie we recommend
using regular pie (shortcrust) pastry, which can also be bought frozen and
ready rolled from your supermarket. Defrost the sheet(s) according to packet
instructions. Alternatively, make the pastry at home using your favourite recipe.
• Homemade crust: Pat your dough into a round shape. Dust your work
surface with a little flour. Working quickly, roll out the dough into a circle
about 5mm thick, lifting up an edge or moving the dough as you roll it out
to ensure it is not sticking to the surface. Your hands should be cold when
shaping dough.
• Cutting the pastry: Place the ready rolled pastry on a piece of baking paper.
Dust the pastry lightly with flour, then use the larger side of the pastry cutter
to cut out the base for your pie and the smaller side for the pie top. Avoid
twisting the pastry cutter as this can tear the pastry.
• Leftover pastry: Small portions of leftover pastry may be used for pie
decorations. Cut into any shape and place on the pie top before closing the lid.
• Filling: Ensure that your pie mould contains the right amount of filling. If there
is too little filling, the top of the pie will not be in with contact the heating
plate and will therefore not brown as well. If there is too much filling, it could
spill out during the cooking process and prevent the top and bottom crusts
from sealing. As a general rule, add about 2 level cups of lling until your
pie mould is about 3/4 full.Also ensure the lling has cooled, otherwise the
pastry base may become soggy.
• No raw llings! Do not use raw protein or fresh, uncooked vegetable
fillings for pies. Raw meat and vegetables need more time to cook than
the Pie Maker takes to bake a pie, so make sure your meat, fish and fresh
vegetables are properly cooked and have cooled before adding them into the
pie mould. Soft fruit and canned fruit or vegetables can be used without pre-
cooking. All filling ingredients should be cut into small pieces of similar size.
• Glazing: If you want to glaze the top of the pie crust with an egg wash for a
shiny, golden brown crust, make sure that no egg wash drips between the
crust and the mould, otherwise the cooked pie will stick to the mould.
FAQs and Troubleshooting Guide
How do I know the moulds are hot enough for baking pies?
When you connect the Pie Maker to the power supply, the red Power indicator will
come on. The appliance is ready when the green Ready indicator light illuminates.
It will cycle on and off during use, indicating that the appliance is regulating its
temperature.
Do the handles have to be locked together during use?
Yes, you must close the lid and clip the handles together so that the pie is cooked
evenly and the pie tops and bases are crimped together to seal in the filling.
Do I have to cook the meat lling beforehand or can I just add the raw mince?
All fillings have to be precooked. The cooking time in the Pie Maker is too short
for meat to be cooked safely, or for fruit or vegetables to soften sufficiently.
How can I remove the pie from the appliance without breaking it?
With a non-metallic spatula, carefully ease the pie away from around the sides and
bottom, slide the spatula underneath the base of the pie and gently remove it.
Smoke is coming from the appliance when I plug it in. What should I do?
If you are using the Pie Maker for the first time, this is normal and no cause for
concern. If you are not using the appliance for the first time, check and ensure
that the pie moulds are clean and no food particles are baked onto the moulds.
There is a hissing sound during baking of the pie.
The appliance may emit a slight hissing sound during baking. This is due to
steam escaping and may be disregarded safely.
Parts of my pie aren't cooked properly.
If you have rolled out your pastry unevenly, the thick parts may not cook evenly
all through. Make sure to roll out the dough evenly to a maximum 5mm thickness.
Also ensure you have preheated the Pie Maker, and the filling was precooked.
My pastry is soggy on the bottom of the pie.
Your filling may have been too wet, or still hot when you added it to the pie, which
can make the pastry base soggy. Let the filling cool and reduce the amount of
gravy, custard or sauces. Also ensure to cook the pie until golden brown.
I overlled the pie and some of the lling has spilled out. How can I get it o
the cooking surfaces?
When the appliance has cooled, use a nylon brush to remove any baked on food
residues, or use a damp cloth and a little detergent to soak and wipe the spillage
off the moulds, taking care that no moisture enters the appliance.

Recipes
Homemade Shortcrust Pastry
Ingredients
170g plain flour 85g butter (cubed)
Pinch of salt 3 tbsp cold water
Method
• Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, add the butter and, using your
hands, rub the flour and butter together.
• Add the water and work the dough with your hands. Gently pack it together.
• Press the dough roughly into the shape you want to roll it out to, wrap it in cling
film and leave it in the fridge for at least half an hour before use.
Variations
• For savoury, herbed shortcrust pastry, add 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh herbs
or 1 tsp of dried herbs to the flour.
• For spiced shortcrust pastry, add 1 tsp of ground spice (such as cinnamon or
ginger) to the flour.
Designed for quick and easy use on the benchtop, this Pie Maker will help you
bake family sized pies without much fuss. You can use it with store bought or
homemade pastry, and with any fruit or savoury filling. So get baking and enjoy
your pie! Use your own favourite recipes, or try our suggestions below.
Many of the pie filling recipes on the following pages are enough for two family
sized pies. So why not make two pies and freeze one? A frozen pie can be
reheated in the Pie Maker in approximately 30 minutes, or in 10-15 minutes if
defrosted. If you intend to freeze a cooked pie, do not let the crust brown too
much, let the pie cool completely and place it in a freezer bag for freezing.
For all the recipe suggestions in this section:
• Prepare your pie crusts and place the base in the pie mould. (We suggest
shortcrust pastry for the base and puff pastry for the top.)
• Spoon the cooled filling into the mould until 3/4 full (about 2 level cups).
• Place the pie top on the filling, close the lid and lock the handles.
• Cook your pie until golden brown. This will take between 10 and 20 minutes,
depending on the desired level of browning and the filling – stewed fruit fillings
generally take a little less time than meat-based fillings.
• When the pie is cooked to your liking, unplug the Pie Maker from the wall
outlet. Carefully remove the pie from the mould by using a non-metallic
(silicone, nylon or wooden) spatula.
