PARTS IDENTIFICATION BEFORE FIRST USE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remove the unit from box and properly dispose of packing materials. Wipe the unit with a damp cloth and let dry well. Place the unit on a level surface, never against a wall or in a corner or against curtains. It should be free-standing and kept away from any flammable material. Insert the plug into a wall outlet. Move the temperature selection switch fully to the right to level 5 and switch the crepe maker on using the On/Off switch.
HOW TO USE YOUR CREPE MAKER 1. Set up the crepe maker as above and once it reaches cooking temperature (green light comes on) pour some crepe batter onto the baking plate, spreading it with a circular movement using the batter spreader. Moisten the batter spreader before use. This prevents the batter from sticking to it. 2. When you pour the batter onto the hot baking plate, you might hear some slight crackling noises caused by differences in temperature and voltage. This does not damage the appliance. 3.
