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.

Warning: Hot surfaces! Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while appliance is in use. Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover 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 Personal Donut Maker 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 Personal Donut 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 your appliance as this may damage the Personal Donut Maker and its nonstick Cooking Surface.

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. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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.

The Personal Donut Maker includes the following parts and features:

Main Body

Indicator Light

Cover

Non-slip Feet

Important Safety Tips:

Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while the appliance is in use.

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

Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. Lift from the side.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Donut Maker is heating up.

Chef Tip: Lay a heat-resistant lining-such as a cooking tray- beneath the appliance to shield your countertop from any potential drips.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Now, you’re ready to get cooking!

3. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil.

Chef Tip! Aerosol cooking sprays often contain additives that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, use a spray bottle and a neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.) to lubricate cooking surfaces.

4. Place or pour batter onto the Cooking Surface until about 3/4 full and close the Cover.

5. Once the donut is cooked to your preference, carefully remove it from the Cooking Surface with a heat-resistant nylon, wood, or silicone cooking utensil.

NOTE: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.

6. When you have finished cooking, place your donut on a wire rack to cool and decorate. Unplug your Donut Maker and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning.

Chef Tip: To frost donuts, simply place a wire rack over wax paper.

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 your appliance as this may damage the Donut Maker.

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

Unplug Donut Maker and allow it to cool completely.

Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surface and Cover. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.

Thoroughly dry the Donut Maker before storing.

If there is food burned onto the Cooking Surface, pour on a little cooking oil and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Scrub the Cooking Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, pour on cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.

Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Donut Maker and its nonstick Cooking Surface.
