4.1 Preparation

1. Place the mini pancake maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure the appliance is closed and plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The Power indicator light will illuminate.

4.2 Cooking Mini Pancakes

1. Once the Ready light is on, carefully open the lid.
2. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of pancake batter into the center of each 2-inch mold. Do not overfill, as batter will expand during cooking.

4. Cook for approximately 2-4 minutes, or until pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary based on batter consistency and desired browning.
