This document describes the Anko Pie Maker, model KP2818-FP, a household appliance designed for making pies.
The Anko Pie Maker is an electric appliance used to bake multiple individual pies simultaneously. It features top and bottom baking plates with multiple circular molds, allowing users to create several pies in one cooking cycle. The appliance is designed for indoor, household use and is not intended for commercial purposes or outdoor use. It operates by heating the baking plates to a suitable temperature for cooking pastry and fillings.
The pie maker is straightforward to use, with indicators to guide the user through the cooking process. It has a red power light that illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains power and remains on until unplugged. A green "ready" light indicates when the pie maker has reached the optimal baking temperature. This green light will turn off when the appliance is ready for use and will cycle on and off during baking to maintain the cooking temperature.
Before first use, the appliance needs to be unpacked, checked for damage, and cleaned. The baking plates should be conditioned by applying a thin coating of cooking oil and rubbing it in with a paper towel. This conditioning is only necessary for the first use. The appliance should always be placed on a flat, solid, clean, dry, and heat-resistant surface, ensuring at least 10cm of free space around it. It should not be operated inside or under a wall cabinet.
To prepare pies, users first roll out pastry and use the included pie base and cover cutters to create the desired shapes. Commercial short crust and puff pastry can also be used, with puff pastry recommended for the top and short-crust pastry for the base. The pie maker should be preheated for approximately 4 minutes until the green ready light turns off. Once preheated, a small amount of vegetable oil can be brushed onto the baking plates. The pastry base is then placed into the bottom baking plate, filled with pre-cooked ingredients, and topped with the pastry cover. The edges of the pastries should be pressed together.
It is crucial that pie fillings, especially those containing fresh meat or vegetables, are cooked in advance. The appliance should be gently closed and locked with the locking clip until it 'clicks' into place to prevent the mixture from coming off the mold. The green working indicator will light up again when a new baking cycle begins. The typical baking time ranges from 5-8 minutes, but this can vary depending on the batter type and ingredients. For a darker pie, the appliance can be closed again to continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
An important caution is not to open the appliance during the first 2 minutes after filling, as this can cause the under-baked pie to split and make removal difficult. When removing pies, only heat-proof synthetic or wooden utensils should be used to avoid damaging the non-stick coating on the heating plates. Sharp or metal objects should never be used. The appliance is not designed to be operated by an external timer or separate remote-control system.
The pie maker includes two cutters: a cover cutter and a base cutter, which assist in preparing the pastry. It also features rubber feet for stability.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the Anko Pie Maker. The appliance should be cleaned after each use, but it is critical not to immerse the pie maker in water or use a dishwasher.
Before any cleaning or maintenance, the pie maker must always be unplugged from the mains power outlet socket and allowed to cool down completely. The surfaces can become very hot during and immediately after use, so caution is advised.
The baking plates and the exterior of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the appliance should not be used.
For storage, after unplugging and allowing the appliance to cool completely, it should be cleaned and dried along with its accessories. The power cord should not be wrapped around the appliance. The pie maker should be stored in a dry location, out of the reach of children. If the surface of the pie maker becomes cracked, it should be disconnected from the mains power immediately to prevent electric shock.
