FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
A. Removable Baking Pan with Lid- The Removable Baking Pan has a nonstick interior,
metal open/close locking clasps and a wire handle to assist with movement and clean-
up. The Baking Pan and Lid must always be used when baking or cooking in any Mode
in the Cake Maker and the Lid must always be securely locked with the locking clasps
while using.
The Baking Pan is designed to hold batters, doughs and other semi-soft
ingredients, however, the Cake Maker is not designed to slow cook, braise, or cook
foods, other than yogurt, in a long-low heat method. See Step-by-Step Instructions for
baking foods in this Cake Maker.
The Removable Baking Pan holds the Automatic Spatula in the center drive
shaft of the Pan. The Automatic Spatula turns and mixes doughs, batters, and other
baked goods. Align the Spatula in the Pan as indicated in the Step by Step Instructions.
Not all Modes use the Auto Spatula, as can be noted in the Step by Step Instructions.
The Removable Baking Pan will accommodate a generous 4½ cups of cake
batter or pastry dough. However, as leavening agents act dierently, you should not
ll the Pan more than one-half to two-thirds full to ensure there is enough room in the
Pan for your cake or bakery goods to rise without overowing the Pan.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling or removing the hot
Removable Baking Pan from the Cake Maker.
B. The Cake Maker Base- The Cake Maker Base holds the Removable Baking Pan and
contains the following features:
-Lid with Baking Mode Menu
-Pre-programmed LED Control Panel with Mode Dial, Preset Time and Baking options
-Interior Drive that securely holds the Removable Baking Pan
-Secure-Hold Feet on the bottom of the Base to add non-slip protection
-Heating element and baking system pre-programmed for each type of Mode usage

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
C. Cake Maker Lid- The easy-open Lid of the Cake Maker oers complete access to the
Removable Baking Pan and the interior of the Base. Use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing foods after baking, as the exterior, interior of the Base, and the Pan become
hot.
The Cake Maker Lid contains the Baking Mode Menu, an easy-reference list of
options for the 13 cycles available in the Cake Maker.
The vent on top of the Lid may release a small amount of warm air as foods
are baked. Avoid placing your face or hands over the vent.
D. Accessories- Handle & Spatula Pin – Included in your package is a special Pin, created
for lifting the handle of the Pan when baking is complete. Use the small tip to easily lift
the wire handle, grasp it with a pot holder and lift the Pan from the oven. The Pin is also
designed to remove the Auto Spatula from the bottom of the cake after baking and
cooling, if needed. Simply insert the small tip of the Pin under the Auto Spatula and lift
it out.
Measuring Cup & Spoon – These handy tools make baking even easier. Use
the measuring cup for liquids such as water, milk or oil and use the measuring spoon for
dry spices such as baking powder or baking soda.

Hints & Tips for Making DeliciousCakes
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
» Lightly coat the Removable Cake Pan and Lid before adding ingredients.
This will assist in removing your cake or other bakery goods from the
Pan when done.
» When preparing cakes and other bakery goods, rst add liquid
ingredients, such as water and oil, then add eggs or other items. Add
dry ingredients last. There is no need to mix the ingredients in the
Pan before baking unless you choose to. The Auto Spatula will mix
everything to perfection during the mixing process.
» Use a pot holder or oven mitt to grasp the handle of the Pan when
removing hot foods. Or, use the Pin provided to lift the handle up, then
grasp with a pot holder to remove. Lift the Pan straight up and out when
removing it from the Cake Maker.
» Ensure that the Pan does not become over-lled with ingredients. The
Pan holds 4½ uid cups of cake batter or dough, however some foods
with active leavening agents may overll the Pan. If the Pan is more than
two-thirds full, remove some batter and refrigerate to make a second
cake.
» Make brownies in your Cake Maker in a ash! Place the Auto Spatula in
the Pan and, using a brownie mix designed for 9 x 9 pan, rst add liquid
ingredients, eggs and oil. Add dry ingredients after the liquid. Bake
on the Basic cycle. As the batter bakes, one giant brownie is formed.
Remove when done and top with scoops of ice cream. A treat for the
entire family!
