4. Setup

Follow these steps before using your crepe maker for the first time:

1. Unpack the appliance and all accessories. Remove any packaging materials, stickers, or labels.
2. Wipe the non-stick cooking plate with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Place the crepe maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other heat-sensitive objects. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
4. Ensure the power cord is not tangled and is positioned safely to avoid tripping hazards.

5. Operating Instructions

Preparing crepes with your JOCCA Electric Crepe Maker is a simple process:

1. Plug In: Insert the power plug into a suitable electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz). The power indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the appliance is on and beginning to heat.
2. Preheat: Allow the crepe maker to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes. This ensures the plate reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
3. Prepare Batter: While preheating, prepare your crepe batter.
4. Apply Batter: Once preheated, you may lightly grease the non-stick plate with a small amount of oil or butter if desired, though it is often not necessary due to the non-stick coating. Pour a small amount of batter (approximately 1/4 cup for a standard crepe) onto the center of the hot plate.
5. Spread Batter: Immediately use the included wooden batter spreader to quickly and evenly spread the batter into a thin, round layer across the plate. Work quickly as the batter will cook fast.
6. Cook First Side: Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the surface of the crepe starts to bubble and set.
7. Flip Crepe: Using a non-metallic spatula, gently lift the edge of the crepe and carefully flip it over.
8. Cook Second Side: Cook for another 30-60 seconds, or until the second side is lightly golden brown.
9. Remove and Serve: Remove the cooked crepe from the plate and place it on a serving dish. Repeat the process for additional crepes.
10. Turn Off: When finished, press the On/Off button to turn off the appliance and unplug it from the outlet.

• Cool Down: Always unplug the crepe maker from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the crepe maker body, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
