BELLA 13823 Mini Cupcake Maker Tin Box Set - Manual (Page 7)

6. Use a spatula to scoop frosting, icing, meringue or whipped cream from the bowl into the
opened pastry bag.
7. For best results, never fill the pastry bag more than 2/3 full.
8. Close the bag by unfolding the cuff and twisting the bag closed. This forces the icing,
meringue, or whipped cream filling down into the pastry bag.
9. Squeeze the first bit of filling out of the tip into the bowl to release any bubbles. Hold
the bag between your thumb and forefinger, and press with your palm as you pipe the
icing, meringue, or whipped cream.
10. Refill the pastry bag as needed.
Baking Fork
• Wearing oven mitts, remove baked treats from the cooking plate using the baking fork.
• Use care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
Measuring Spoon
• Use the measuring spoon (1 teaspoon) to fill the molds on the lower cooking plate 2/3 to
almost full – use 2 rounded teaspoon of batter.
Cooling Rack
• Remove baked treats to the wire cooling rack to cool before decorating.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Carefully unpack the Mini Cupcake Maker Kit and remove all packaging and materials.
2. Before using your Mini Cupcake Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates
with a damp cloth to remove all dust, and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly
damp, soft cloth or sponge.
CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance. NEVER
IMMERSE MINI CUPCAKE MAKER BODY IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!
3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat surface. Keep the Mini Cupcake Maker
closed until use.
4. Wash and rinse all decorating accessories: batter squeeze bottle, baking fork, pastry bag
with coupler, pastry tip, cooling rack, and measuring spoon. Dry before use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use the lid handle to lift the top lid to the open position.
2. Before baking the first mini cupcakes of the day, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil
to both the top and bottom mini cupcake plates. Spread with an absorbent kitchen towel
and wipe off any excess oil.
3. Plug unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet to preheat. The red POWER ON light will
illuminate. Close the lid.
NOTE: When your Mini Cupcake Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight
smoke or odor. This is normal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not
affect the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first mini
cupcakes prepared in the Mini Cupcake Maker, it is recommended that these
be discarded.
4. While preheating, prepare mini cupcake batter.
5. After approximately 2 to 3 minutes, the green READY light will turn on, indicating the unit
is preheated and is ready for use.
6. If mini cupcake liners are not used, for best results, use a non-stick cooking spray to
lightly coat the non-stick plates before cooking. This will assist in the removal of the mini
cupcakes after cooking.
NOTE: Using no liners will produce a crispier, browner cupcake outside.
