Allow the appliance to heat up for approximately 5 minutes. Apply a thin coating of cooking oil to
the cooking plates and carefully rub it in with a paper towel. You only need to condition the
cooking plates when using your pie maker for the first time.

◆
IMPORTANT! On first use there may be a small amount of haze and an odour emitted from
the appliance. This is perfectly normal and will subside after few minutes of use.

Unplug the appliance and now it is ready for use.
HOW TO USE YOUR PIE MAKER
PREPARE PASTARY
Roll out your pastry, then use the pie base and cover cutter to prepare your pie base and cover.
Alternatively, you can use any commercial pastry that you can purchase in the supermarket such as:
short crust and puff pastry. It is recommended that you use puff pastry for the top and short-crust pastry
for the base of the pie.
1.
Before using the appliance, clean the baking surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry it with paper towel.
2.
Close the appliance and plug it into a mains power outlet socket. Both red power indicator and
green working indicator will light up, indicating that the pie maker is connected to the mains
power and begins preheating. The red power indicator will remain ON until you unplug the
appliance from mains power.
3.
It will take approximately 3 minutes to reach the recommended baking temperature. The green
working indicator will go OFF when the pie maker is ready for use.
4.
Open the appliance and brush the baking plates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
5.
Put the pastry base into the bottom baking plate. Fill the ingredients then place the pastry cover
and press the edges of the pastries together.
NOTE: Your pie filling should be cooked in advance, particularly if using fresh meat or vegetable
ingredients.
WARNING! Do not use the pie cutter or pastry mold in the product when it is switched ON. This
may damage the accessories.
6.
Close the appliance to begin cooking your pies.
NOTE:
Gently close the lid and ensure to lock the appliance with the locking clip until it ‘clicks’ in
place. Do not slam the lid down, as it may cause the mixture to come off the mold.
7.
The green working indicator will light up again when another baking cycle starts. The actual
baking time varies depending on the type of batter and ingredients you use.
A general guideline is
around 5-8 minutes of baking time.
8.
If you prefer a darker pie, close the appliance again and continue baking until desired baking
colour is achieved.
IMPORTANT! do not open the appliance during the first 2 minutes after filling in the batter. It
will cause splitting of the under-baked pie and make it difficult to remove.
9.
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.
10.
After using the pie maker, disconnect the power plug from the mains power socket.
