5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Preheating
- Close the churro maker plates.
- Turn the Power Switch to the "ON" position. The Heating Light will illuminate.
- Set the Temperature Knob to the desired cooking temperature, typically between 180°C and 220°C for churros.
- Allow the machine to preheat until the Heating Light turns off, indicating the set temperature has been reached. This usually takes 5-10 minutes.

5.2 Cooking Churros
- Once preheated, carefully open the churro maker.
- Lightly brush the non-stick plates with a small amount of cooking oil or butter, if desired, for extra crispness and to ensure easy release.
- Pour or pipe your churro batter evenly into the molds. Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow. The machine can cook 8 churros at once, each measuring 22x2.5cm.
- Gently close the top plate.
- Set the Time Knob to the desired cooking duration, typically 3-5 minutes, depending on your recipe and preferred crispness.
- The machine will cook the churros. The Heating Light may cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- Once the timer sounds or the churros are golden brown and crispy, carefully open the machine.
- Using a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil (e.g., wooden or silicone spatula), carefully remove the cooked churros.
- Repeat the process for additional batches.
