5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare delicious crepes:

1. Prepare Batter: Prepare your desired crepe batter. Pour a thin layer of batter into the provided plastic batter tray.

Allow it to pre-heat for approximately 3-5 minutes until it reaches the optimal cooking temperature. The automatic thermostat will maintain this temperature.

4. Cook Crepe: Lift the crepe maker from the batter and hold it horizontally. Cook for approximately 30-60 seconds, or until the edges begin to crisp and the surface appears cooked.
5. Flip (Optional): If desired, use the wooden spatula to gently loosen the crepe and flip it to cook the other side for a few more seconds.
6. Remove: Once cooked to your preference, slide the crepe off the plate using the wooden spatula onto a serving plate.
