3 - Important Safety Information: Please read these notes carefully BEFORE using your Tower appliance • Check that the voltage of the main circuit corresponds with the rating of the appliance before operating. • Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. • If the supply cord or appliance is damaged, stop using the appliance immediately and seek advice from the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
• Please ensure that the appliance is used on a stable, level, and heat resistant surface. • Do not immerse cords, plugs or any part of the appliance in water or any other liquid. • Do not use the appliance outdoors. • CAUTION: During cooking ensure you open the 8 Mince Pie Maker slowly and carefully. Excess pie filling may overflow the mould and can scald. • Do not overfill the pie mould or use fillings with excess liquid ingredients. This can result in an overflow of filling.
4 - Setting Up Before first use: • Carefully unpack the 8 Mince Pie Maker. Remove all packaging materials. • Place the appliance on a flat, level surface. • Open the 8 Mince Pie Maker Lid. • Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth so that they are clean. Note: Use a small amount of cooking oil to season the cooking plates, and wipe off any excess with a dry cloth. This only needs to be done once. • • • Wipe the outside of the housing with a soft damp cloth.
5 - Using Your Appliance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Place the 8 Mince Pie Maker onto a dry, level surface. Close the cover and plug in. A red light will turn on, signifying that the appliance is now pre-heating. In approximately 3-8 minutes the green light will show, to indicate that the appliance is pre-heated and ready for use. Throughout the cooking process the green light will flash on and off indicating that the correct cooking temperature is being maintained.
5 - Using Your Appliance Using the pastry cutters: 1. The pastry cutters are designed to create the perfect sized pastry for your 8 Mince Pie Maker. 2. Once your pastry is made, dust it with flour to prevent sticking. 3. The large pastry cutter cuts the base and the smaller pastry cutter makes top of the pie. 4. Avoid twisting the pastry cutter as this can tear the pastry. 5. Place the pastry base into the pie mould, carefully pushing down so it fits. 6.
6 - Tips 1. It is recommended to wipe some olive or vegetable oil onto the cooking surfaces before using the 8 Mince Pie Maker. This helps to brown the bottom crust well, and also makes it easier to remove the pie after cooking. 2. Ensure that your pie mould contains a sufficient amount of filling. If too little filling, the top of the pie will not contact the heating plate and will not brown as well.
7 - Weights & Measures Check these charts for basic imperial to metric conversions of weights.
8 - Troubleshooting Questions Answers Can I use raw meat in the 8 Mince Pie Maker? No. All meat needs to be pre-cooked. The cooking time is not long enough for raw meat to be cooked. How can I remove my pies without them breaking? Allow the pie to cool slightly. Carefully use a non-metallic spatula to ease around the sides and bottom of the pie and then gently remove the pie. For extra help, add olive oil to the pie molds before cooking.

Before cleaning the 8 Mince Pie Maker, unplug power cord from the wall outlet and allow to completely cool. In order to prevent food residue build-up clean your 8 Mince Pie Maker after each use.
