Operating Instructions
Preheating
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220 Volts). The appliance will begin to heat up.
- The Thermo-Spot indicator, located on one of the cooking surfaces, will change color (typically from a patterned design to solid red) when the ideal cooking temperature is reached. This indicates the appliance is ready for use.

Making Crepes
- Once the Thermo-Spot indicates readiness, use the included ladle to pour a small amount of crepe batter onto each cooking surface.
- Quickly spread the batter evenly using the included batter spreader or a spatula to form thin crepes.
- Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown, depending on your preference.
- Use a spatula to flip the crepes and remove them from the cooking surface. The non-stick coating ensures easy release.
- Repeat the process for additional crepes.

Troubleshooting
