If you prefer a darker pie, close the appliance again and continue baking
until desired color is achieved.
Note: Do not open the appliance during the first 2 minutes after filling in the
batter. It will cause split of the under-baked pie and make it difficult to
remove.

To remove the pie, always use a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a
sharp or metal object, as this will damage the non-stick coating or the baking
plate.

After using the pie maker, disconnect the power plug from the mains power
socket.
TIP: For best results, blind bake your pie base before adding your filling. Please
refer blind baking as follows:
Put the pastry base into the pie maker.
Cover the pastry base with baking paper and then fill with baking beans.
Close the lid, switch on your pie maker and cook the pastry for
approximately 5 minutes.
Remove the baking paper and baking beans from the pastry base. Take care
not to touch the hot cooking surface.
Fill the pastry base with the pre-cooked pie filling, cover it with the pastry
cover when closing the appliance.
Cooking a further 15 minutes until the pastry is cooked on top.
NOTE:
If you do not have baking beans, alternatively rice or dry beans can be
used.
