Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the Cookie Press and all accessories.

2. After unpacking, wash Cookie Discs, Filler Tips, Filler Tip
Adapter, Tube Cover, Filler Tip Cover, Tube, Cam Disc, Press
Disc and Cam Shaft with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.

3. Make sure the unit is unplugged and then wipe all surfaces
with a slightly moistened, soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never
immerse the Motor Body, plug or cord in water or any other
liquid. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers as they will damage the finish.

Motor Body.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to fit in 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 electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

Instructions for Making Cookies

The proper consistency of cookie dough is very important. If the
dough is too stiff, it won't release from the Cookie Press. If the
dough is too soft or sticky, chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
For best results, use the recipes in this booklet until you get a feel
for the proper consistency of the dough. We do not recommend

using store-bought refrigerated cookie doughs.

1. Plug the fully assembled and filled Cookie Press into a standard
120V AC outlet.

2. Stand the Cookie Press upright and press against the surface
of the cookie sheet. Refer to Figure 7. The Cookie Press has
been specially designed for thumb operation. Thumb operation
provides better balance for placing the cookie shapes on the
cookie sheets. (See Figure 8.)

3. When the Tube is filled with cookie dough and the ON/OFF
Button is pressed, the Press Disc pushes downward, forcing
the dough through the Disc or Tip to form an attractive cookie
or decoration.

4. Holding the Cookie Press in position against the cookie sheet,
press and hold the ON/OFF Button until the air pockets have
been removed and the dough starts to emerge from the
openings in the Cookie Disc.

5. Press a cookie for 2 seconds and note the result.

NOTE: The time to press each cookie will be based on the

desired thickness and shape of your cookie and the dough
you are using.

6. Release the ON/OFF Button and quickly step to the next
position on the cookie sheet. Refer to Figure 8.

NOTE: It may be necessary to experiment with varying times and

pressures until the desired cookie thickness is achieved.
