NOTES ON THE PLUG

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 fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

NOTES ON THE CORD

• A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
  1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
  2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type3-wire cord; and
  3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

ELECTRIC POWER

Getting to know your Cake Pop Maker

Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using For The First Time

• Remove all parts included in the box.
• Wash all the parts thoroughly (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section for more information).
  NOTE: Your Cake Pop Maker may emit a small amount of smoke and/or odor when you use it for the first time. This is normal and harmless, however we recommend that you do not eat the first cake pop you make with the Cake Pop Maker.

Using Your Cake Pop Maker

1. Plug the cord into your 120 V AC wall outlet.
2. The Red Ready Light will turn off when the appliance reaches proper cooking temperature. Once heated, ready times will be faster.
3. When the Red Ready Light turns off, using the handle, lift the top lid to the open position and apply a light layer of vegetable oil, olive oil or canola oil to the cooking plates. Pour and spread the cake pop batter evenly onto the lower plate so that the batter fills the lower plate and the peak areas of the plate are covered.
   CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING PLATES AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.
4. Using the handle, lower the top lid.
5. Allow the Cake Pop Maker to cook for 2 – 3 minutes, according to recipe directions. The Red READY light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.
6. When the Red ready light turns OFF, using oven mitts gently open the lid by lifting the lid handle; if it pulls, continue baking for 30 seconds and test again. If the cake pops need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and continue cooking at 20 second intervals until the desired color is achieved.
7. Wearing oven mitts, remove cake pops from the cooking plates using a non-metallic utensil. A wooden or heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the cake pops.
   CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or metal objects.
   WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates are cool.
8. To make more cake pops, close the Cake Pop Maker until the Red Ready Light appears off, then repeat from step 4.
9. When finished baking cake pops, remove plug from wall outlet.
10. After it has sufficiently cooled, the heating plates may be wiped clean.

Tips For Perfectly Baked Cake Pops

1. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized cake pops depends on the typed and consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully so as to cover the peaks in the plate.
2. To avoid cake pops with a moist base, kept the cake pops on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the crispness of the cake pops.

User Maintenance Instructions

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician if the product requires servicing.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Unplug the Cake Pop Maker, and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
2. You can easily remove any excess oils or crumbs without disassembling the appliance.
3. Never submerge the appliance in water or place it in the dishwasher.
4. Use only plastic or wooden utensils on the heating plates. Metal may damage the plates.
5. Use a soft cloth on the heating plates and occasionally a metal polish intended for stainless steel on the outer housing. Never use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.
6. If there is hardened batter on the plates, pour a little oil and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes. You can then wipe clean with a paper towel.
7. Do not use the Cake Pop Maker for anything other than making cake pops

Preparing Cake Pops

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Cake mix (or homemade)

FIRST COVERING
Prepared cake frosting (or homemade) Candy melts, various colors Chocolate chips (any flavor/color, including butterscotch) Jam, jelly, preserves, honey

FUN TOPPINGS
Colored sprinkles Chopped nuts Shredded sweetened coconut Small colored candies such as M&M®’s Colored icing tubes Cinnamon sugar Ginger sugar

CAKE POPS SUPPLIES
Lollipop sticks
Styrofoam form to stand pops

1. To prepare cake pops: Dip sticks into the melted candy or chips before inserting them into the cake pop. This will help to hold pops into place.
2. Stand the cake pops in a Styrofoam form to keep them from touching. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before decorating.
3. When you are ready to dip, take pops out of the refrigerator no more than 5 at a time.
4. Frost cake pops with your favorite frosting or combination of frostings. Then roll into toppings of your choice or press candies or nuts into coating.
5. If you are using liquefied candy melts or chips as the first covering:

• Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 to 1/2 cup candy melts or any chocolate or flavored
  baking chips for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds, if necessary.
  NOTE: A double-boiler or a pan over boiling water can also be used.
• If needed, add a splash of milk to chips before heating to thin dipping mixture.
• Dip pops into the bowl, swirl cakes in the dipping mixture until it is covered. Use a
  teaspoon to help drip candy over the cake. Work quickly as the chocolate will begin to get lumpy as it hardens.
• Roll cake into toppings of your choice or press candies or nuts into wet coating.
  HINT: When using melted white chocolate as the first coating, put some aside to use as a colored drizzle. Melt chocolate and add GEL food coloring until the desired color is achieved. Decorate using colored chocolate in a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped.
  IMPORTANT: Never use liquid food coloring as it will harden immediately and ruin the chocolate.
  6. If you are using jam, jelly, preserves or honey:
• Place in microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 10 seconds.
• Brush pops with melted fruit.
• Roll or dip cake pops into toppings of your choice..
