Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if 

care is exercised in their use.  If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord 

is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great 

as the electrical rating of the appliance, and 

2) The 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.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF

APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

IMPORTANT

During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor.  This is normal 

and should quickly disappear.  It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

BEFORE USING

1.  Carefully unpack the pie maker and all parts.  Remove all packaging materials, including any 

stickers or labels.

2.  Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the pie maker with a damp cloth or sponge.  Wipe 

dry with a soft cloth.  

NEVER IMMERSE THE PIE MAKER OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY 

OTHER LIQUID.

  

3.  Position the pie maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.

4.  It  is  recommended  to  operate  this  appliance  on  a  separate  outlet  and  circuit  from  other 

appliances to avoid overloading the circuit.

HOW TO USE

1.  Position the pie maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.

2.  Release the lid latch and lift the lid to the open position.

3.  To  maintain  the  quality  of  the  nonstick  it  is  recommended  to  periodically  coat  the  nonstick 

surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.  This can be done with a paper towel or with a 

nonstick oil spray.  Wipe off any excess oil.

4.  DO NOT preheat the pie maker.  Prepare pie crusts and all ingredients in advance before 

plugging in the pie maker.

5.  (See Fig 1 through 5 on page 5)  If baking a 

single-crust pie

 (lower crust only), cut the lower 

crust circles using the large side of the Crust Cutting Tool.  While the surfaces are still cool, 

form the lower crusts to the baking reservoirs using the Crust Forming Tool.  Add ingredients 

(if required) and bake according to directions.  If baking a 

double-crust pie

 (lower and upper 

crusts), cut the appropriate amount of lower and upper crust circles.  While the surfaces are 

still cool, form the lower crusts to the baking reservoirs using the Crust Forming Tool.  Add 

ingredients (about 2 to 4 tablespoons or as called for in recipes).  Place an upper crust circle 

over the ingredients and bake according to directions.

6.  Close the lid of the pie maker, checking that the lid latch engages in the locked position.

7.  Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet, preferably on a separate outlet from other appliances 

to prevent the circuit from being overloaded.  When plugged in, the red POWER light will be 

illuminated.

8.  In a few minutes while the pie maker is cooking, the green READY light will illuminate.  This 

is linked to the thermostat of the pie maker and indicates the pie maker is cooking properly.  

Because it is recommended to start baking in a room temperature pie maker, the READY light 

is not a good indicator of food being finished.

9.  Actual cooking time will vary depending on ingredients and type of pies being prepared.  As a 

general guideline, most recipes require 12 to 15 minutes of cooking time per batch.

10.  Open the top lid using an oven mitt or pot holder to avoid making contact with hot surfaces.

CAUTION:  Surfaces of the pie maker are hot.  To avoid accidental burns or contact 

with  the  hot  surfaces  or  steam  being  released  while  cooking,  always  open  and 

close the lid of the pie maker using an oven mitt or pot holder.
