ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or any other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• After using, unplug cord from electrical outlet.

• Do not leave the appliance plugged in when it is not being operated.

• Always unplug the appliance from electrical outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.

• Once this unit is plugged into an electrical outlet it should not be left unattended.

• A short power cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping. While we do not recommend it, extension cords may be used if caution is exercised. If an extension cord is used, ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than the appliance. If the plug is grounded, the extension cord must be a grounded type-3 wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other areas where it can be pulled on by a child or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-

cian. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning.

• Clean the unit only when it has completely cooled down.

• When cleaning the unit use a soft, damp cloth.

HOW TO OPERATE1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with damp cloth.

2. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.

3. The cooking plates should be lightly coated with a small amount of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel, brush or 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.

4. Prepare the batter for the Cupcakes.

5. Raise the lid of the appliance.

6. Fill each of the six pastry wells in the nonstick cooking surface with batter mixture.

7. Close the lid and plug in. Steam may be released from appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.

8. Allow Cupcakes to cook for alotted time. Open the unit to check if the Cupcakes are ready. If they are cooked as desired, remove the plug from the power outlet and use a wooden utensil or heat proof spatula to remove the Cupcakes. If they are not completely cooked, close the unit and continue cooking for 4-7 minutes or until Cupcakes are lightly browned.

9. To cook additional Cupcakes, repeat the above steps. Reapply the plates with cooking oil, butter or margarine. You may want to use a pastry brush. Do not touch the hot plates.

10.When finished, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.

HELPFUL HINTS• There may be a slight smell and some smoke the first time the appliance is used. This is normal and temporary. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation.

• Cupcakes that do not set or are not brown are due to insufficient heat or the cooking time is too short. Use the correct measurements for the recipe.

• If the Cupcakes are too brown, insufficient batter is used or the cooking time is too long. Ensure cooking plate is full or reduce cooking time before checking.

• Make sure that the plates are cleaned and lightly oiled before each use to prevent the Cupcake from sticking and ensuring easy removal.

• Use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. DO NOT use sharp-edged cooking tools such as knives, forks, spoons etc. as the scratching will affect the non-stick performance.
