Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles only. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Do not use outdoors. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. Always attach plug to appliance first, and then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn all controls to OFF and then remove plug from wall outlet. Extreme care must be used when operating this appliance as surface temperatures get extremely hot. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY Additional Safety Information Additional Safety Information This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Warning: Improper use of the wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is listed on the bottom of this unit. Before Your First Use Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials. Ensure that the unit is unplugged. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. CAUTION: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water. IMPORTANT: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the appliance. We recommend a trial run to familiarize yourself with your Crepe Maker and to eliminate any protective substance or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping. Plug in the Crepe Maker, set the temperature to maximum and let it heat for 20 minutes. A small amount of smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal and will go away after subsequent uses. This procedure is only needed with new units before their first use. 2 3

The temperature can be adjusted at any time before or during the cooking process. You can adjust the temperature by rotating the Temperature Dial. The temperature range is 175 F to 400 F. The Ready Indicator Light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off during the cooking process to maintain the correct temperature. Helpful Hints Be sure to always clean the Cooking Plate after each use to remove any residue on the surface. Do not cut or use sharp metal utensils to cut food on top of the Cooking Plate. Use only silicone, nylon or wooden tools to avoid damaging the nonstick coating. Always preheat the Crepe Maker until the Ready Indicator Light illuminates. Have all ingredients in place before cooking starts as crepes cook quickly. 4 5 6 Apply nonstick cooking spray to the Cooking Plate. Pour the prepared batter onto the Cooking Plate then use the Crepe Spreader to spread out the batter. Be careful not to touch the hot surface. Crepes are done cooking in a short amount of time.
