SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Open the unit by lifting upward on the Handle. The top section will stop in a
vertical position. NOTE: The hinge between the sections is designed to be
loose. This allows the donuts to rise evenly and steam to escape.
2. Clean the cooking surfaces thoroughly by wiping with a sponge or cloth
dampened with hot water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT
RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO COOKING SURFACES . Dry the surfaces
with a cloth or paper towel.
HOW TO USE
1. Plug cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Always preheat Donut Maker for 5 minutes in closed position before baking.
Use this time to make the batter. When the unit has reached proper
temperature, the red indicator light will go off.
3. Fill each of the donut cavities with batter. Prepare the recipe exactly as
given. Do not double the recipe quantity. Make fresh batter for additional
batches.
4. For round, even donuts, fill donut cavities making sure not to spill batter onto
the rest of the mould surface.
5. Close unit and lock handle in place.
6. As each recipe has a recommended cooking time, i.e. 2-1/2-4 minutes, it can
be helpful to use a cooking timer.
7. Once the donuts are cooked, carefully remove them making sure never to
touch the cooking surface with sharp, pointy or metal objects. To remove
donuts, use plastic or wood utensils.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. The Donut Maker mould has a non-stick surface for even baking and easy
cleaning. The donut cavities may be sprayed with a cooking oil spray to add
flavor, if desired.
2. The recipes in this booklet make small batches (except when noted) so that
donuts can be eaten while hot and fresh. To store remaining donuts, place in
a plastic bag and seal tightly. Keep for one day at room temperature or in the
refrigerator.
3. Donuts can be reheated in a microwave oven. Place donuts on a paper
towel; cover with a second paper towel. Cook for a few seconds only. Times
will vary depending on whether donuts have been stored at room
temperature or refrigerated.
4. Donuts can be baked ahead of time for lunches or snacks. Prepare
according to recipe; cool on cooling rack for 10 minutes. Place in a plastic
bag and seal tightly.
5. Donuts can be frosted after cooling. Frost with your favourite flavour and
decorate with sprinkles or dust with cinnamon, brown sugar or icing sugar.
6. Do not overmix batter. Stir ingredients gently, until smooth.
7. Once cooked, some donuts may have some dough in the opening. This
cooked dough is easily removed.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Be sure the unit is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
2. Clean the cooking surfaces thoroughly by wiping with a sponge or cloth
dampened with hot water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT
RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOKING SURFACES. Dry the
surfaces with a cloth or paper towel.
3. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners on the cooking
surfaces as they may damage the non-stick coating.
4. To remove cooked-on food, use a plastic bristle brush or a plastic mesh pad.
5. To avoid discolouration, clean the outside surfaces after each use by wiping
with a damp or sudsy sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners that may scratch or mar the exterior
surfaces. Never spray or apply cleaners directly to the Donut Maker; instead,
apply the cleaner to a cloth and rub on.
