HOW TO USE
1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and dry.
2. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.
3. The Nonstick Cooking Surface should be lightly coated with a small amount of
vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel or with a nonstick
oil spray. The oil will help protect the nonstick quality of the cooking surface.
*This should be done periodically to maintain the nonstick quality.
NOTE: You can also line the pastry wells with miniature paper cups.
4. Preheat the appliance by closing the Lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
5. When the power is on, the Red Power Light will come on. The Green Ready Light
will stay off while the appliance is preheating.

Light will turn on when the appliance is ready to cook.

oven mitt. Remove the pastries from the Nonstick Cooking Surface with a
plastic or wooden spoon. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may scratch and
