Setup
Follow these steps to set up your crepe maker before first use:

Operating Instructions
Before First Use
It is recommended to perform an initial burn-off to remove any manufacturing residues:
- Plug in the crepe maker and turn the temperature dial to setting III (maximum).
- Allow the appliance to heat for approximately 5-10 minutes. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal.
- Turn the dial to OFF and unplug the unit. Let it cool completely.
- Wipe the non-stick plate with a clean, damp cloth.
Making Crepes
Follow these steps for optimal crepe preparation:
- Prepare Batter: Mix your favorite crepe batter recipe. Ensure the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Preheat: Plug in the crepe maker and turn the temperature dial to your desired setting (e.g., II for medium heat, III for higher heat). Allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes. The indicator light (if present) will signal when ready.
- Prepare Dipping Plate: Pour a thin layer of crepe batter into the provided separate dipping plate. The depth should be sufficient to coat the crepe maker's surface.
- Dip: Carefully invert the hot crepe maker, dipping its non-stick cooking surface into the batter in the dipping plate. Hold it submerged for 2-3 seconds, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
- Cook: Lift the crepe maker, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the dipping plate. Immediately place the crepe maker back on its feet. Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe begin to lift and the surface is lightly golden.
- Remove: Use a non-metallic spatula to gently loosen the edges and slide the crepe off the cooking surface onto a serving plate.
- Repeat: Repeat the dipping and cooking process for subsequent crepes. Adjust temperature and dipping time as needed.
- Finish: Once finished, turn the temperature dial to OFF and unplug the appliance. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Temperature Control
Your Jocca Funny Cooking Crepe Maker features a 3-level temperature control dial, allowing you to adjust the heat according to your recipe and preference:
- OFF: Turns the appliance off.
- I (Low): Suitable for keeping crepes warm or for very delicate cooking.
- II (Medium): Ideal for most standard crepe recipes, providing even cooking and light browning.
- III (High): For faster cooking or achieving a crispier texture. Use with caution to prevent burning.
Experiment with different settings to find the perfect temperature for your desired crepe consistency.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your crepe maker:
- Cool Down: Always ensure the crepe maker is unplugged and has cooled completely before attempting to clean it.
- Non-Stick Plate: Wipe the non-stick cooking surface with a soft, damp cloth. For any stuck-on food, use a small amount of mild dish soap and then wipe thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or sharp utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
- Exterior: The exterior of the appliance can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Dipping Plate: The separate dipping plate can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or placed in the dishwasher.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the main crepe maker unit (with electrical components) in water or any other liquid.
- Storage: Store the clean and dry crepe maker in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your crepe maker, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in correctly; Power outlet not working. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. |
| Crepes stick to the plate. | Plate not sufficiently preheated; Batter too thick; First use residue. | Ensure the crepe maker is fully preheated. Adjust batter consistency if too thick. For the first crepe, a very light brush of oil can be used. |
| Crepes are too thick or uneven. | Too much batter; Dipping time too long; Batter consistency. | Use less batter in the dipping plate. Reduce dipping time (1-2 seconds). Adjust batter consistency if too thick. |
| Crepes are not cooking evenly. | Insufficient preheating; Uneven batter coating. | Allow adequate preheating time. Ensure the crepe maker is dipped evenly into the batter. |
