Product Overview

The Sunbeam FPSBDML920 Donut Maker features a compact design with non-stick plates for easy donut preparation and cleaning. It is equipped with indicator lights to signal when the unit is powered on and ready for use.

Key Features:

• Non-stick cooking plates for easy food release and cleaning.
• Makes up to 5 donuts at a time.
• Power and Ready indicator lights.
• Latching hinged lid for secure operation and compact upright storage.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the donut maker from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not immerse the appliance in water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the donut maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or cabinets, to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: Close the lid and plug the donut maker into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is on. Allow the unit to preheat until the 'Ready' indicator light illuminates (or turns off, depending on model design). This typically takes a few minutes.
2. Preparing Batter: Prepare your donut batter according to your recipe. For best results, use a batter consistency suitable for pouring or piping into molds.
3. Adding Batter: Once the unit is preheated, carefully open the lid. Lightly grease the non-stick plates with cooking spray or a small amount of oil, if desired, though the non-stick surface generally prevents sticking. Pour or pipe batter into each donut mold, filling approximately two-thirds full to allow for expansion. Do not overfill.
4. Cooking: Close the lid securely using the latch. Cook for the time specified in your recipe, typically 3-6 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on batter type and desired doneness. The 'Ready' light may cycle on and off during cooking, which is normal.
5. Removing Donuts: Once cooked, carefully open the lid. Use a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil (such as a wooden or silicone spatula) to gently remove the donuts from the molds. Avoid using metal utensils, which can damage the non-stick coating.
6. Subsequent Batches: Close the lid and allow the unit to reheat briefly if the 'Ready' light indicates. Repeat steps 3-5 for additional batches.
7. Finishing: When finished cooking, unplug the donut maker from the outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning and storage.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your donut maker.

1. Cool Down: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Cleaning Plates: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, a small amount of mild dish soap can be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the donut maker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
4. Storage: Ensure the donut maker is clean and dry before storing. The latching hinged lid allows for convenient upright storage to minimize space. Store in a cool, dry place.
