BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Carefully take the device and its accessories out of the
packaging. Retain the packaging in case you would like
to store the device away or transport it at a later date.
If you choose to dispose of the packaging, then please
do so according to the applicable legal regulations.
2. Check the packaging contents for completeness and
damages. Should the contents in the packaging not
be complete or be damaged, do not use the device.
Return it to your retail outlet immediately.
3. The upper and lower baking plates are covered with
non-stick coating. Use only utensils made of suitable
synthetic material or wood in order not to damage it.
Utensils must not have sharp corners and edges.
4. Clean the device as described in the CARE AND
MAINTENANCE section.
5. Season the cooking plates (top and base) with a little
vegetable oil and remove any excess oil with absorbent
kitchen paper towel. After the initial seasoning, there
is no need to season the plates before each use as the
pastry leaves the plates slightly seasoned. Avoid using
spray on oils
USING THE PIE CAKE MAKER
1. Grease the baking surfaces with a little bit of fat or oil.
Do not use cooking sprays!
2. Prior to baking, allow the device to heat up for 5
minutes or at least wait until the ready lamp (red) goes
out. During the baking process the ready lamp (red)
will go on and off which indicates that the device keeps
the temperature constant.
3. Flap the lid up. Touch only the handles since the device
is already very hot.
4. Cut 4 pastry bases and 4 pastry tops (if required)
5. Place the pastry base in the preheated pie maker and
carefully press into the base, ensuring the edges of the
pastry overlap the crimping area of the pie well.
CAUTION: Only touch the pastry as the pie maker will
be very hot.
6. Spoon some of pre-prepared or pre-cooked and
cooled lling into the pastry base unless specied to
do otherwise in the recipe. Do not overll the pastry
bases.
NOTE: Do not use liquid ingredients only (such as
sauces and gravies or in large proportion to solids)
for the pie llings, as liquid will overow and make the
pastry soggy. Always combine liquid ingredients with
solid ingredients.
7. Place the pastry tops over the lling, ensuring the
edges are positioned evenly and aligned with the
pastry base edges.
8. Close the lid.
NOTE: The lid must be closed when baking pies, but
check progress during baking so that desired shade of
golden brown is reached.
9. Cook the pies for approximately 5-6 minutes. If you
prefer extra browning, we recommend you cook for 8
minutes.
10. Open the lid and remove the baked items using a heat-
proof plastic spatula or plastic tongs.
11. If more baking is required, close the lid and follow Steps
3-10.
12. At the end of baking, unplug the power cord from the
power outlet. Allow the appliance to cool completely
before cleaning.
