Place the paper cake cases in the appliance. Fill each hollow in the lower plate for 1/2 with cupcake batter. Bake the cup-cakes until they are golden-brown (approx 7-10min.).

1. Prepare the batter as basic recipe above.

2. Lift the top plate of the appliance.

3. Fill each hollow in the lower plate for 1/2 with cupcake batter. The batter may not come above the edge

of the cups. You can use paper cake cases first in the appliance (see figure 2).

4. Lower the upper plate.

5. Close the cupcake maker with the fastening clip.

6. Put the plug into the wall socket. The “power” light will illuminate, and the appliance will begin to heat up.

7. After 3-5 min. the “power” light extinguishes. The “ready-to-use” light will now illuminate. Check the

baking process of the cup-cakes. During use the heating element will switch in and out to keep the temperature of the baking plates constant. Consequently the “power” and “ready-to-use” lights will also repeatedly illuminate and extinguish.

8. Bake the cup-cakes until they are golden-brown (approx 7-10min.).

9. Decorate the cup-cakes possibly

• Use your favorite recipes and mixes, or the recipes in the book of recipes.

• Most cup-cakes bake in 5 to 6 minutes. To determine if cup-cakes are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake; if it comes out clean, the cup-cakes are done.

• Cup-cakes or muffins are very fragile and hot when just baked. Carefully remove them from the cupcake maker and place on a wire rack. Use caution as the cup-cakes and steam are very hot. Allow the cup-cakes or muffins to stand about 5 minutes before serving, even if you wish to serve warm muffins.

Use paper cake cases if desired when baking cup-cakes and muffins. They make removing and serving easy. Paper cake cases are required for brownies and cheesecake as the baked brownies or cheesecakes are so hot and delicate and must cool some before they are firm enough to hold their shape.

• You can decorate the cup-cakes with for example: frosting, marzipan, fondant, icing, chocolate, chocolate vermicelli, sugar pearls, dusting sugar etc. Bon appetit! Figure 2 ca. 4cm ca. 2,5cm ca. 5cmInstruction manual
