If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Helpful Hints

• Do not use pie dough for pie tops. We recommend using puff pastry dough for pie tops. You can find Puff Pastry sheets in the freezer section of your local supermarket.
• Pre-made pie dough can be found in the refrigerated section of your supermarket, usually where the refrigerated cookie dough and biscuits are located.
• For pre-made pie crust unroll onto a piece of parchment paper. Using the large side of the pastry cutter make the bottom as close to the edge of the pie crust as possible. Take the remaining section and reposition the dough to make a second mould. Press the dough down slightly with your fingers to join the pieces. One standard pie mould will yield 1 pie crust bottoms.
• You can store unused moulded pie crust in the freezer by simply adding parchment paper in between layers and storing in a plastic freezer bag. Remove excess air from the bag before freezing.
• Ensure that your pie mould contains a sufficient amount of filling. If too little filling, the top of the pie will not contact the heating plate and will not brown as well. Too much filling and your pie could overflow during the cooking process and prevent the top and bottom to seal. As a general rule, cakes and batters that do not contain crust should be 2/3rd full, pastry fillings from pies should be 3/4 full.
• Do not use raw fruit fillings or proteins for pies. Since most pies in your Pie Maker are completed within 10 minutes this is not sufficient time to cook fillings. Always precook ingredients before adding to pie mould. You can find pre-made pie fillings in the canned fruit section of your local supermarket or see the recipes at the end of this manual to make your own!

Operation

 

Before Your First Use

1. Carefully unpack your Pie Maker. Remove all packaging materials.

3. Wipe the Cooking Plates with a damp cloth so that they are clean.
4. Wipe the outside of the Housing with a soft damp cloth. NEVER immerse the power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
5. Close the appliance.
6. Plug into the wall outlet and pre-heat for 10 minutes.

You may notice some smoking coming from your Pie Maker during this initial phase, this is normal.
Season the cooking plates with vegetable oil and rub off excess with a paper towel. There is no need to season the plates again.

WARNING: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the appliance.

 

Using Your Smart Pie Maker

Place your pie maker on a stable, level surface. Close the cover and plug into a 220-240 volt AC outlet only. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is powered on and preheating. In approximately 3- 8 minutes the green light will illuminate when the appliance is preheated and ready for use. The green light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicting that the correct temperature is being maintained. Always keep the cover closed when preheating or in-between uses.

 

Cakes & Muffins

1. If making cakes and muffins fill the mould directly with approximately 2/3rds full unless the recipe states otherwise. Close the cover and press the Locking Latch in until it clicks.
2. Set a timer for the specified time as indicated in your recipe. You will notice the green ready light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.
3. When the cooking time is complete unplug the pie maker from the wall outlet. Pull the Locking latch-up from the bottom and carefully lift the lid. If you need additional browning simply close the lid and set the timer to the desired additional time.
4. Carefully remove the cake or muffin from the mould by using a nylon or wooden spatula. Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the nonstick surface.

 

Pies & Tarts

1. If making pies and tarts use the Reversible Pie Cutter to make the moulds. The larger side is for the pie bottom and the smaller for the pie top. The slits in the mould bottom allow you to overlap the dough for a better fit in the mould.
2. Unless the recipe states otherwise we recommend using Puff Pastry dough for the tops and standard pie dough for the bottom. If using store brought dough you can find Puff Pastry dough in the freezer section of your supermarket. Pie dough is usually found in the refrigerated section with muffins and cookies.
3. Open the Pie Maker and place the large bottom dough over the Pie Mold. Add your fillings according to the recipe instructions. The weight of the fillings will cause the dough to drop down into the mould. You can also use the bottom of a ladle to gently press the dough into the mould, being careful not to tear the dough.
   WARNING! Surfaces are hot. Never touch the cooking surface directly with your fingers
4. If your recipe calls for a top, place the moulded dough top over the filled mould and close the cover. Press the locking latch in until you hear a click indicating that it is locked.
5. Set a timer for the specified time as indicated in your recipe. You will notice the green ready light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.
6. When the cooking time is complete unplug the pie maker from the wall outlet. Pull the Locking latch-up from the bottom and carefully lift the lid. If you need additional browning simply close the lid and set the timer to the desired time.
7. Carefully remove the pie from the mould by using a nylon or wooden spatula. Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the nonstick surface.
