9. During cooking, the 'HEATING' and
'READY' lights will continue to cycle on
and off to indicate that the pie maker is
maintaining the correct temperature.
10. The timer will countdown in 1 minute
increments, displaying the remaining
cooking time on the LED screen, until it
reaches 1 minute, it will then count down by
seconds until cooking time has elapsed.
11. When the cooking time has counted
down, the pie maker will beep 5 times and
return to standby mode. The LED screen
will display '– –'. Both the 'HEATING' and
'READY' light will no longer illuminate
indicating heating has stopped as the pie
maker returns to standby mode.
WARNING
During or after cooking, open the pie maker lid
carefully. Cooked pie filling is hot and
can scald.
A BIT MORE™
'A Bit More™' button can only be used after the
initial cooking time has finished. It is handy
if you want to cook your pies just 'a bit more'
without having to reset the timer. Press the
'A Bit More™' button up to 4 times adding
1 minute per press. There is no need to press
the START/CANCEL button. The time entered
will flash for 3 seconds on the screen, then the
timer countdown will commence. 'HEATING'
or 'READY' light will illuminate.
12. Once cooking is complete, open the lid and
carefully remove your pies with the help of
a silicone spatula. Never use metal tongs
or a knife as these can cause damage to the
non-stick coating. Alternatively, to continue
making pies repeat steps 4-8.

13. You can press the START/CANCEL button
at any time during cooking to cancel
cooking. The LED screen will display '– –'.
The pie maker will return to standby mode,
switch the pie maker off at the power outlet
and remove the power plug from the power
outlet.
NOTE
Cooking typical meat pies should take less
than 10 minutes. Exact cooking time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the type
of pastry, temperature and type of filling used.
NOTE
At all times the lid must be closed and locked
into place.
When using the pie maker for the first time you
may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused
by the heating of some of the components.
There is no need for concern.
WARNING
Steam may be ejected from between the
cooking plates when the lid is closed. The
amount will vary depending on how wet the
filling is. Be careful not to make contact with
the steam as it may cause burns.
Hints & Tips
SEASON THE PLATES
Season the plates occasionally to prevent
sticking and to make cleaning easier.
To season, brush the cooking plates with a
little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with
absorbent paper.
It is not recommended to use cooking spray
on non-stick coatings as this may affect the
performance of the non-stick surface over time.
REHEATING
If the pies are not being eaten immediately,
place on a paper napkin to absorb
condensation or a cooling rack to keep for
longer. Alternatively, place on a rack in an
oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven,
about 100°C. The pies should keep hot for up
to 15 minutes this way, but will then begin to
dry out.
FROZEN PASTRY
It is possible to use pastry sheets straight from
the freezer. Always remove the plastic before
use. For the pie base turn on the pie maker
then, rest the pastry on the bottom plate until
softened, then add your filling to each of the
pie wells. For the pie top, allow the lid to rest on
the top of the frozen pastry for 30 seconds to
soften, before locking the clip into place.
PRE-HEAT OVER-RIDE
When over-riding the pre-heat, an additional
2 minutes will need to be added to the cooking
time. So if the pie cooking time is 7 minutes
and the pre-heat has been over-ridden, then the
set time will need to be set at 9 minutes.
