7 Before first use Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels. Wipe the cooking plates and outer housing with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Season the cooking plates (top and base) with a little vegetable oil and remove any excess oil with absorbent kitchen paper towel. After the initial seasoning, there is no need to season the plates before each use as the pastry leaves the plates slightly seasoned. Avoid using spray on oils unless specified to do so in a recipe. Using the Pie Maker NOTE When using the Pie Maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components and will dissipate with use. There is no need for concern. NOTE Pie bases can be made with shortcrust pastry, butter puff pastry, puff pastry, filo pastry or bread. Pie tops can be made with butter puff pastry, puff pastry, filo pastry, or bread. Shortcrust pastry should not be used for pie tops as it does not rise or brown properly. Pastry can be homemade or purchased ready-made from supermarkets. NOTE The pie cutter is designed to cut the pastry tops and bases to perfectly fit the pie wells. The smaller cutter is for the pie tops and the large cutter is for the pie bases (refer to image below). Operating Your Breville Pie Maker NOTE If using pre-purchased frozen pastry sheets, remove from the freezer in sufficient time for the pastry to thaw slightly for easy cutting. Pastry becomes difficult to handle if completely thawed. Two standard 25cm square pastry sheets are sufficient for making four pies. Any excess pastry rounds can be refrozen for future use. NOTE Prepare the pie fillings in advance. NOTE The Pie Maker is designed for making four pies at a time. Uneven cooking or burning may occur if only one or two pies are cooked at a time. 1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet. 2. Close the lid of the Pie Maker and switch on at the power outlet. The Power ‘ON’ red light will illuminate until the Pie Maker is switched off at the power outlet. 3. The Ready-to-bake green light illuminates when the appliance has reached the correct temperature and is ready to use 4. Lightly flour the top surface of each pastry sheet for easy cutting and to prevent pastry bases from sticking to the pie press. 5. Cut 4 pastry bases and 4 pastry tops (if required) by positioning the pie cutter over partially thawed pastry sheets and press down firmly to make a straight cut into the pastry. Do not twist. Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges. Tops Bases
8 Operating Your Breville Pie Maker continued 6. Place a pastry base (floured side up) into the centre of each pie well and use the pie press to press and mould into the shape of the pie well, ensuring the edges of the pastry overlap the crimping area of the pie well. 7. Spoon ½ cup of pre-prepared or pre-cooked and cooled filling into the pastry base unless specified to do otherwise in the recipe. Do not overfill the pastry bases. NOTE Do not use liquid ingredients only (such as sauces and gravies or in large proportion to solids) for the pie fillings, as liquid will overflow and make the pastry soggy. Always combine liquid ingredients with solid ingredients. 8. Place the pastry tops over the filling, ensuring the edges are positioned evenly and aligned with the pastry base edges. 9. Close the lid, ensuring the locking latch clicks into position. The lid has to be securely closed to ensure when baking pies that pastry tops and bases are crimped together to seal in the filling. NOTE The lid must be closed when baking pies, but check progress during baking so that desired shade of golden brown is reached. 10. Cooking times will vary depending on the recipe. For example, pies will require approximately 8 minutes. NOTE Do not use metal utensils to remove the cooked items as these may scratch the non-stick surface of the cooking plates. 11. Open the lid and remove the baked items using a heat-proof plastic spatula or plastic tongs. 12. If more baking is required, close the lid and follow Steps 3-10. 13. At the end of baking, switch off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Allow the appliance to cool slightly. The appliance is easier to clean when slightly warm. (Refer to the cleaning and storage instructions in this booklet).
9 Care, Cleaning and Storage Care and Cleaning Before cleaning, ensure the power is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is then unplugged from the power outlet. Allow the appliance to cool slightly. The appliance is easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods. Cleaning the cooking plates Wipe cooking plates with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive or metal utensils or scourers as they will scratch the non-stick surface of the cooking plates. Do not use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners, or oven cleaners, when cleaning this appliance. Cleaning the outer housing Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord. Do not use abrasive or metal utensils or scourers as these may scratch the outer housing. Storage Before storage, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug.

10 Hints and Tips for Best Results Pastry Pies • A wide selection of ready-rolled pastry, such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and wholemeal, is available in your supermarket freezer. These pre- prepared pastry sheets give great results and are handy to keep in the freezer. • Pastry can be homemade or purchased ready rolled. • Allow sufficient time to defrost frozen pastry sheets before use but do not allow the pastry to become too soft as it will be difficult to handle. • Filo pastry can be used for some pies. Filo pastry from the chilled refrigerator section of the supermarket is much more pliable and easy to use than frozen filo pastry as it can be brittle and difficult to shape. • Pastry sheets should be kept chilled in between each use. Soft pastry sheets are difficult to handle and to cut clean shapes. • For a more buttery taste, use puff pastry or butter puff pastry for the pastry tops with shortcrust pastry for the pastry bases. This combination is ideal for dessert pies. • Shortcrust pastry should not be used for pie tops as it does not rise or brown properly. • Unused pastry sheets or cut rounds can be refrozen. Flat pack into a large freezer bag and seal before placing back into the freezer. Bread Pies • Prepare healthy pies in the Pie Maker using bread for the bases and tops. Most types of sandwich bread such as white and wholemeal, can be used. • Do not use thick or toast bread slices as they will prevent the lid from closing correctly. • Avoid heavy grained breads as they may scratch the cooking plates and are not sufficiently pliable for shaping into the pie wells. • Cut 4 bread tops and 4 bread bases using 8 slices of sandwich bread. Position the cutter over each slice and cut by pressing down into the bread. Do not twist. Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges. • The bread does not require buttering before placing into the pie wells. Pie Fillings • Fillings should be cooked and cooled before adding to the pie base. The cooking time for the pies is not sufficient to cook raw meat fillings or soften fresh fruit or vegetable fillings. • Use canned or pre-cooked fruit, as fresh fruit may lose juice when heated. • Pies with insufficient filling will not form a good shape and brown on top. • Excess prepared fillings can be frozen or stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. • Be careful when biting into hot pies, especially with fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as these retain heat and may burn your mouth if eaten too quickly.
