The Dash Mini Heart Bundt® Cake Maker (Stock# DBCMH100) is a compact electrical appliance designed for baking individual heart-shaped Bundt® cakes. It features a non-stick cooking surface and an indicator light to signal when the optimal cooking temperature is reached. The appliance is primarily intended for household use and is not suitable for commercial or outdoor purposes.
Function Description:
The Mini Heart Bundt® Cake Maker allows users to quickly and easily bake heart-shaped Bundt® cakes. The device preheats in approximately 3 minutes, and most recipes require 9-13 minutes of cooking time. The cooking surface is designed to create a classic Bundt® cake shape with a central hole. The appliance is simple to operate: after preheating, batter is poured into the cooking surface, the cover is closed, and the cake bakes until a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean. A removal tool is provided to safely lift the cooked cake from the appliance.

Usage Features:
- Preheating: The appliance requires preheating for approximately 3 minutes until the blue indicator light illuminates, signaling it has reached the optimal cooking temperature. The indicator light will automatically turn on and off during cooking to regulate temperature.
- Non-stick Cooking Surface: The cooking surfaces are non-stick, which aids in easy cake removal and cleaning. It is recommended to lightly brush the cooking surface and removal tool with butter or baking spray before adding batter.
- Batter Filling: The cooking surface should be filled approximately ¾ full (equivalent to ⅓ cup of batter) to allow for proper rising during cooking. Overfilling should be avoided.
- Doneness Check: Cakes can be checked for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked through.
- Safe Handling: The cover should always be lifted and lowered using the Cover Handle from the side to avoid contact with the hot cooking surface and prevent injury. The appliance and cake will be very hot after cooking, so caution is advised, and the appliance should be allowed to cool for a few minutes before handling the cake.

- Versatility: Pre-made cake mixes can also be used with the appliance by preparing the batter according to the mix instructions.
- Separate Circuit Recommendation: It is recommended to operate the appliance on a separate outlet and circuit from other appliances to prevent overloading the circuit.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, the appliance must be unplugged and allowed to cool completely. The interior and exterior surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge and wiped dry with a soft cloth.
- Stubborn Food Removal: For baked-on fillings or crust, a small amount of cooking oil can be applied to the hardened food for 5 minutes, then wiped away with a paper towel or dry cloth. A clean kitchen brush or toothbrush can be used for stubborn residues.
