NOTE:
When your Mini Cupcake Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight
smoke or odor. This is normal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not
affect the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first mini
cupcakes prepared in the Mini Cupcake Maker, it is recommended that these
be discarded.

While preheating, prepare mini cupcake batter.
5.
After approximately 2 to 3 minutes, the green READY light will turn off, indicating the unit
is preheated and is ready for use.

If mini cupcake liners are not used, for best results, use a non-stick cooking spray
to lightly coat the non-stick plates before cooking. This will assist in the removal
of the mini cupcakes after cooking.
NOTE:
Using no liners will produce a crispier, browner cupcake outside.
7.
Mini cupcake liners may be used to ease cleanup and present a more professional-
looking cupcake. Muffin liners come in all colors and patterns can be used to dress up
your cupcakes and match your party theme. When using cupcake liners, place 7 liners
on a plate. Spray all of the liners before filling.
