- Placement: Place the crepe maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Note that the power cord is approximately 86.5 cm long, so position the appliance close to an outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Turn the appliance on using the On/Off switch. The pilot light will illuminate. Adjust the variable thermostat to your desired heat setting (1-6). The ready-to-use indicator will light up when the desired temperature is reached.
- Preparing Crepes: Pour a small amount of crepe batter onto the center of the hot non-stick surface.
- Spreading the Batter: Immediately use the wooden crepe turning stick to spread the batter evenly in a circular motion across the entire cooking surface.
- Cooking: Cook the crepe until the edges begin to brown and the surface appears set.
- Flipping: Use the wooden spatula to gently lift the edge of the crepe and then flip it over to cook the other side.
- Removal: Once cooked to your preference, remove the crepe from the surface using the wooden spatula.
- Repeat: Continue with remaining batter, adjusting the temperature as needed.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your crepe maker.
- Cool Down: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Cleaning the Cooking Surface: The non-stick coating prevents food from sticking. Simply wipe the cooled cooking surface with a soft, damp cloth or paper towel. For stubborn residue, a small amount of mild dish soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure no water enters the electrical components.
- Cleaning Accessories: Wash the wooden spatula and turning stick with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
- Storage: Once clean and dry, the crepe maker can be stored in a cool, dry place. Utilize the cable storage feature to keep the cord tidy.
7. Troubleshooting
- Crepes sticking to the surface:
- Ensure the cooking surface is clean and free of residue.
- Make sure the appliance is fully preheated before adding batter.
- A very light coating of cooking oil or butter can be applied for the first crepe, though the non-stick surface typically does not require it.
- Uneven cooking:
- Allow sufficient preheating time for the entire surface to reach a consistent temperature.
- Ensure the batter is spread quickly and evenly across the surface using the turning stick.
- Appliance not turning on:
- Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Verify that the On/Off switch is in the 'On' position.
- Check your household's circuit breaker or fuse box.
