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

This appliance is not intended for deep frying foods.

This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience or 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.

Warning: Hot surfaces! Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while 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.

DO NOT use the MultiMaker near water or other liquids, with wet hands, or while standing on a wet 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.

DO NOT remove the Removable Plates until the MultiMaker has completely cooled. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Warning: The MultiMaker 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.

Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance as this may damage the MultiMaker 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. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug.

A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

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

Never touch the Removable Plates or Cover while appliance is in use.

Never touch the Removable Plates or the inside of the MultiMaker while it is plugged in and preheating or when it has not fully cooled.

DO NOT lift the Cover with your arm positioned over the Removable Plates. They are hot and may cause injury.

Always lift and lower from the right side using the Cover Handle to avoid hitting the Release Tab.

1. Choose two Removable Plates for cooking. Align the Removable Plates with the Insertion Slots near the hinge of the MultiMaker.

2. Slide both plates into the respective slots. When using the Deep Dish Plate, always place it on the bottom. Press down on the corner of each plate until you hear a slight click, indicating that the Plate is properly in place.

3. 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 MultiMaker is heating up.

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

5. 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, an additive that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, avoid aerosols and instead grease cooking surfaces using a silicone basting brush or a non-aerosol spray bottle.

6. Add batter or food to the bottom Removable Plate and close the Cover.

7. Once closed and cooking, use the Lid Lock to lock the MultiMaker securely. Keep locked for the duration of cooking with all Removable Plates besides the Deep Dish.

Note: Due to the depth of the Plate, the Lid Lock will not fully clasp closed when cooking with the Deep Dish Removable Plate. For all other Plates, the Lid Lock will fully clasp when cooking.

8. Once food is cooked to preference, carefully remove 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.

9. When finished cooking, unplug the MultiMaker and allow it to cool before moving, cleaning, or ejecting the Removable Plates.

10. To remove the Removable Plates, press the corresponding Release Tabs on the side of the Handle [there are Release Tabs at the bottom and at the top].

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Removable Plates until they have completely cooled.

Always allow the appliance to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing. Do not submerge appliance in water or any other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance as this may damage the MultiMaker and the nonstick coating of the Removable Plates.

In order to keep the MultiMaker in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the appliance after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.

Before removing the Removable Plates and after use, unplug the MultiMaker 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 hand washing is recommended to preserve the nonstick cooking surface.

To hand wash 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 MultiMaker 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 MultiMaker 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 MultiMaker by unplugging it.

Yes, this is completely normal. When using the MultiMaker, 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.

Prep Time: 4+ hours • Cook Time: 25-30 minutes • Serves: Two 10″ pizzas

Ingredients for Dough:

3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup yellow cornmeal

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast, (1 standard packet)

1 ¼ slightly warm water

¼ cup unsalted butter, cup melted

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Olive oil for coating

Ingredients for Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 small onion, grated (about ⅓ cup)

¾ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

3 garlic cloves, minced

28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

¼ teaspoon granulated sugar

Ingredients for Toppings:

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoni, optional

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, optional

Fresh basil, to garnish

Directions:

1. For Crust: Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. (If a stand mixer isn’t available, a hand mixer and large bowl can be used. If no mixer is available, this can be done by hand using a very large bowl.)

2. Mix on low or use a large wooden spoon. Add warm water (90°F) and melted butter (let sit after melting so that it’s not too hot when it touches the yeast). On low speed, beat until everything begins to be moistened. Continuing low speed, beat until soft and gently pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough is too hard, beat in 1 teaspoon of warm water. Alternatively, if it feels too soft, beat in 1 tablespoon of flour.

3. Remove from bowl and form into a ball. Lightly grease a large mixing bowl with olive oil and place dough inside, turning it around so that all sides are coated. Cover bowl tightly and allow to rise in a warm environment for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

4. Place dough on a lightly flour a large work surface. Gently punch down to remove any air bubbles. Roll into a large 15×12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter on top of dough. Roll it up lengthwise. Cut the dough log in half. Form the two pieces of dough into balls and place back into greased bowl. Cover again and allow to rise in the refrigerator for one hour until puffy.

5. For Sauce: Place butter saucepan over medium heat and allow it to melt. Add grated onion, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Once onion has slightly browned, add garlic, tomatoes, and sugar. Turn heat down to low-medium and allow it to simmer until it’s hearty, fragrant, and thick, about 30 minutes. This will yield about 2½ cups of sauce. If there is more, keep simmering until the amount has reduced. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. Assemble Pizzas: Leave one dough ball refrigerated while working on the other. Roll out on a lightly floured surface, working into a 9-inch circle. Transfer to the Deep Dish Removable Plate. Use fingers to press dough into Plate. Trim any excess dough off the edges with a small knife. Brush the top edges of the dough with olive oil.

7. Insert the Deep Dish into the Max Maker. Fill each pizza with 2 cups of cheese. Then top with pepperoni, bacon, or preferred toppings. Top each pizza with prepared sauce, splitting evenly between them. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

8. Plug in the Max Maker to begin cooking. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and sauce is cooked through. Open the Lid unplug the Maker to allow the pizza cool in the Deep Dish for about 10 minutes.

9. Garnish with chopped basil. Slice, serve, and enjoy this authentic Chicago classic, no travel required!
