Instructions for Use
Before Using the Cupcake Maker

Before using the mini cupcake maker for the first time, clean the upper and lower cooking plates with a soft,
damp, lint-free cloth.
Lightly grease the cooking plates with a small amount of butter or oil and heat the cupcake maker with the
lid open for five minutes.
Switch off the mini cupcake maker and allow it to cool thoroughly.
Wipe away any excess butter or oil before use.

Using the Cupcake Maker

Plug the mini cupcake maker into the mains power supply; the red indicator light will illuminate to show it is
heating up. Preheat for approximately 5 minutes.
Open the lid and carefully place the cupcake cases into the wells on the lower cooking plate.
Next, add pre-prepared mixture to the cases and fill to approximately ²⁄³. Close the lid of the mini
cupcake maker.
The green temperature ready indicator light will cycle on and off during cooking, to show that it is
maintaining the correct temperature.
Cooking will take approximately 20 minutes.
After that time, open the mini cupcake maker and check that the cupcakes are cooked. If further cooking
time is required, shut the lid again and cook the cupcakes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Warning: Do not leave the mini cupcake maker unattended during cooking as the cupcakes can burn.
When the cupcakes are cooked, switch off the mini cupcake maker at the mains power supply.
Remove the cupcakes using wooden or plastic kitchen utensils. Do not use metal or sharp utensils as these
may damage the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.
Allow the mini cupcake maker to cool before adding a new batch.
