HOW TO USE THE ICE CREAM CONE MAKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before first use, wipe the two hot plates with a cloth rinsed in warm soapy water and then
dry with kitchen paper.
Take a clean sheet of kitchen paper and apply a little vegetable oil to it, gently rub both
hot plates with the oiled kitchen paper. The hot plates have a non-stick coating and will
only need this before first use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Prepare your batter in advance, make a smooth batter that will coat the back of a
spoon with a smooth thin layer.
2. Use the heat control dial on top of the lid to select the
heat level you require. This will vary according to your
recipe and the temperature of your mixture. Recipes with
a higher sugar content will brown more quickly. If you are
unsure, we recommend starting with a lower heat and
turning up the dial until your wafer is the colour you would
like. You can quickly lift the lid to check during cooking.
3. Plug the Ice Cream Cone Maker into the socket and switch
it on.
4. The red heating light will illuminate to show the hot plates
are heating to the temperature you have set.
5. When the Ice Cream Cone Maker is ready to use, the
green ready light will illuminate.
6. Use a tablespoon measure to spoon your mixture onto
the hot plate, most recipes will need 2-3 tablespoons of
mixture. Spread the mix quickly in the centre of the hot
plate with a heat resistant non-metal spatula and close
the lid. Excess mixture will be caught in the hot plate rim.
7. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Quickly lift the lid to check if the
wafer is cooked as you would like, if not close the lid
again for another minute.
8. Remove the wafer quickly from machine and lie on a clean
folded tea towel. Use the towel to roll the wafer around
the cone maker and hold until it has cooled down and
will hold its own shape. Carefully remove the cone shaper
to make your next cone.
WARNING: The wafer will be very hot when you remove it from the hot plate. Remove
it from the hot plate with a spatula and wear oven gloves. The temperature of all
surfaces marked with this symbol including the hot plates will be very hot when the
appliance is in use. DO NOT TOUCH these surfaces as possible injury could occur. Only
touch the lid handle to open and close machine, and the heat control dial. Allow to cool
completely before handling this appliance.
Your cones can then be dipped in melted chocolate and dipped in nuts, sugar sprinkles or
chopped fudge etc. to decorate, then left to set.
Warm wafers can be moulded into the ‘cups’ of a cupcake baking tin, or over the outside
of a small ramekin to make a ‘bowl’ for serving in. They can also be cut into small circles
with a cookie cutter to make flat wafers for ice cream sandwiches.
Only use batter mixtures in the Ice Cream Cone Maker.
Mixtures with a higher sugar content will brown more quickly. So batter recipes which
include sugar, honey or maple syrup will brown nicely. Start cooking these recipes with a
lower heat setting.
You can add different flavourings and spices to your batter, such as vanilla, butter caramel,
cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg.
Your cones can then be dipped in melted chocolate and dipped in nuts, sugar sprinkles or
chopped fudge etc. to decorate, then left to set.

HINTS AND TIPS
• Use a tablespoon measure, most recipes will need 2-3 tablespoons of mixture.
• Always use heat resistant plastic, nylon, wooden or silicone spatulas – metal utensils will
damage the non-stick coating on the hot plates.
• If the top of your wafer is not as dark as the bottom, press the handles together during
cooking to apply more heat.
• Remove the wafer quickly from the hot plate and shape it before it has cooled. The
lighter the wafer the easier it will be to mould and shape.
• Waffles can be stored in a sealed airtight container for 2-3 days.
• The lid is very heavy and can fall shut. Take care not to trap hands.
