• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience of knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.

• Do not use metal utensils on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.

• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Maker is NOT dishwasher safe.

• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.

• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Unplug the appliance and allow to cool prior to moving, cleaning, storage, and when not in use. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance as this may damage the Treat Maker and the nonstick Removable Plates.

• The Removable Plates are dishwasher safe on the top rack, but we recommend hand washing to preserve the life of the product. Let the Removable Plates cool before removing and/or washing.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner.

Yes. Warning: Hot surfaces! Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while the appliance is in use. Always lift and lower the Cover by the Handle.

DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury. Lift from the side.

Warning: The Treat Maker will still heat up if plugged in without any Removable Plates in place. Always have the Removable Plates properly in place in the Maker before plugging it in. DO NOT remove the Removable Plates until the Treat Maker has completely cooled. Failure to do so may result in injury.

The main parts include:

• Indicator Light

• Cover

• Release Tabs

• Cord Storage

• Cover Handle

• Non-Slip Feet

• Heating Element

• Insertion Slots (Top and Bottom)

It also comes with three sets of Removable Plates: Waffle Heart Plates, Mini Cupcake Plates, and Mini Donut Plates.

Before first use, remove all packaging materials and thoroughly clean the Treat Maker.

1. Choose two Removable Plates for cooking. Install the Removable Plates by sliding them into the two Insertion Slots located at the top and bottom of the Treat Maker.

2. Each Removable Plate is labeled either “Top” or “Bottom.” Slide each plate into its respective slot. Push down at the corner where the plate is labeled until there is a slight click indicating that the plate is properly in place.

1. To begin cooking, place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Treat Maker is heating up.

2. Once the Removable Plates reach the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off, indicating that it’s ready to begin cooking.

3. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and lightly grease both Removable Plates with a small amount of cooking oil. NOTE: Aerosol cooking sprays often contain soy lecithin, which can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky. To ensure longevity, avoid aerosols and instead grease cooking surfaces using a silicone basting brush or a non-aerosol spray bottle.

4. Pour batter onto the bottom Removable Plate and close the Cover.

5. Once treats are cooked to preference, carefully remove from the bottom Removable Plate with a heat-resistant nylon or silicone cooking utensil. CAUTION: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Removable Plates as this will damage their nonstick coating.

6. When finished cooking, unplug the Treat Maker and allow it to cool before moving, cleaning, or ejecting the Removable Plates.

To remove the Removable Plates, first ensure the appliance is unplugged and has fully cooled off. Then, press the corresponding Release Tabs on the side of the Handle. There are Release Tabs at the bottom and at the top for each plate.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Removable Plates before they have fully cooled off.

If a piping bag isn’t available, a large, clean, and completely dry Ziploc® bag can serve as a substitute. NOTE: Only bags with straight 90° angled corners are suitable.

1. Find a large cup at least the size of a standard pint glass. Insert one bottom corner of the Ziploc® bag into the glass so that the bag lines the glass.

2. Carefully pour or spoon batter into the bag. Only fill the bag about halfway to ensure there is enough space to grip the bag while piping.

3. Grasp the excess plastic of the bag and pull it out of the glass. Make a fist around the excess plastic to grip the bag, squeezing to push all batter down into the corner and push out any excess air.

4. Use scissors to cut a small tip off of the corner of the Ziploc® bag. Start with a small cut and gradually increase the size if needed, depending on the thickness of the batter.

Hold the bag over each donut mold and gently squeeze the bag to pipe batter into each mold. For each mini donut, start from the top and pipe in a circular motion. Fill each mold about three-quarters full. For even cooking and best results, fill the middle donut mold last.

CHEF TIP! To ensure even browning, carefully flip the donuts with a toothpick midway through cooking.

Always allow the appliance to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing. Do not submerge the appliance in water or any other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance as this may damage the Treat Maker. To prevent the build-up of food or oil, thoroughly clean the appliance after each use.

• Before removing the Removable Plates and after use, unplug the Treat Maker to allow it to cool completely.

• Allow the Removable Plates to cool before touching or running them under water.

• The Removable Plates are dishwasher safe but handwashing is recommended to preserve the nonstick cooking surface.

• To handwash the Removable Plates, use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, apply a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Then scrub the Removable Plates with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down Removable Plates. Rinse the cloth thoroughly and wipe again. If food still remains, apply cooking oil once more and let sit for a few hours before scrubbing again.

• Thoroughly dry the Treat Maker before storing.

This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the Removable Plates do not get too hot or cold. When this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off.

When the Treat Maker reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts off and that means it’s ready to get cooking!

To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When finished cooking, turn off the Treat Maker by unplugging it.

Yes, this is completely normal. When using the Treat Maker, always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. To prevent personal injury, DO NOT lift the Cover with your arm positioned over the Removable Plates. They are hot and may cause injury.

There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Removable Plates. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully. Then, use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Plates. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, apply a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Then scrub with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to dislodge food.

1. Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
