13. Do not use the cupcake maker if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if the product
is dropped, damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to arrange a repair or
replacement. Never try to repair the cupcake maker yourself as this may cause electric shock.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the cupcake maker and remove any packaging. Wipe the outside of the cupcake maker
and the non-stick cooking surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Do not immerse in water
or any other liquid, and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers as they will damage the product.
USING YOUR CUPCAKE MAKER
Baking a batch of cupcakes is incredibly easy with the cupcake maker, which turns out 6 light, fluffy cakes
in around 8 to 10 minutes. The cupcake holes should be lined with cake cases before adding the mixture.
For some scrumptious ideas to get you started, see our recipes.
1.
With the lid closed, place the cupcake maker on a suitable surface and plug into the mains socket.
The orange power light will come on to show the cupcake maker is heating up.
2.
After around 5 minutes, the green ready light will come on. Lift the lid, taking great care not to touch
the hot surfaces. Line the 6 cupcake holes with cake cases and divide your cupcake mixture
between them; they should be two-thirds full.
3.
Close the lid and let the cupcakes bake.
4.
After 8 minutes or so, lift the lid and check the cupcakes. They should be risen and springy to the
touch. If you prefer, test them with a wooden cocktail stick, which should come out clean. If the
cakes are not quite ready, close the lid and let them bake a little longer.
5.
Once the cakes are ready, unplug the cupcake maker. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool.
Let the cupcake maker cool completely before cleaning. See CARE AND CLEANING.
PLEASE NOTE: do not use metal utensils to lift out the baked cakes as this will damage the non-stick
surface.
