INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, 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 modify the plug in any way.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional
labels or stickers from your unit. Be sure that
all parts (listed on Page 3, Parts and Features)
have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box
and packing materials for use at a later date.
Before using your International Chef
™
Crêpe/
Pizzelle/Pancake Plus for the first time, wipe
housing with a damp cloth and wash plates and
accessories well to remove any dust from the
warehouse or shipping.
Note: The International Chef
™
Crêpe/Pizzelle/
Pancake Plus has been treated with a special
nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the plates with flavorless vegetable oil. Apply oil with a paper towel or pastry
brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Place the International Chef™ Crêpe/Pizzelle/
Pancake Plus on a clean flat surface where you
intend to cook. It can be
positioned in three ways:
Closed Position – Upper
plate/cover rests flat on
lower plate/base. This is
your starting and heating position. Always use
caution when changing
positions once the unit is
preheated.
Open Position – Upper
plate/cover is open and in
the 105° position. Open
the cover to this position
before using the unit as
a press or in the flat position.
To adjust to this position, press the top of the
locking latch and lift the handle until you feel it
come to a locking position. The unit will stay in
this position until you close the cover or continue to open it to the flat
position.
Flat Position – Upper
plate/cover is level with
lower plate/base. The
upper and lower plates lie flat to double the
cooking surface.
Start with the unit
in the open position. Then, lift the
handle vertically at a
90˚ angle. Push the
handle back until
the cover rests flat
on the counter.
The unit will stay in
this position until
you lift the handle
and cover to return
it to the closed position.
To insert plates
1. Adjust the unit to the flat position.
2. Insert one plate at a time. The plate marked
LOWER is designed
for the lower housing. The plate marked
UPPER is designed
for the upper housing.
3. Locate the two holes
in the hinge at the
back of the housing. Tilt the back end of the
plate and line up the pegs at the back of the
plate with the holes in the hinge. Slide the
plate into the holes and push down the front
end of the plate. It will snap into place.
4. Repeat with second plate.
To remove plates
1. Locate the plate release buttons on the right
side of the unit. Press firmly on button and
the plate will pop
up slightly from the
base.
2. Grasp the plate with
two hands, slide it
out from the holes,
and lift it out of the
base.
3. Press on the other plate release button to
remove the other plate in the same manner.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet.
2. Adjust the Temperature Knob to the desired
setting or to one of the preset temperatures if
cooking crêpes, pizzelle, or tortillas. Be sure
to close lid. Red Power-on light will illuminate.
5
3. If working in the closed position, adjust the
Timer Knob to the desired time, or to one of
the preset times if cooking crêpes, pizzelle,
or tortillas.
4. When green light illuminates, plates have
reached the selected temperature and you’re
ready to cook. NOTE: Depending on temperature selected, heat-up times will vary.
5. Pour batter or place ingredients on plates.
Green light will go off.
6. Close lid if not cooking on open griddle.
When lid is closed and locked, timer will
begin counting down. NOTE: If lid is opened
for more than 5 seconds during cooking,
timer will shut off.
7. When items are cooked and ready to eat,
green light will illuminate and you will hear a
beep tone.
8. Refer to the chart on page 8 for cooking tips
and recommendations.
Caution: Always exercise caution when handling the unit during cooking as the housing
will become very hot. Be sure to use an oven
mitt to prevent burns. The handle stays cool for
opening and closing during cooking.
Note: The first time you use your International
Chef
™
Crêpe/Pizzelle/Pancake Plus it may have
a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick
surface.
TIPS AND HINTS
1. The temperature control is used to set and
maintain the temperature of the cooking
surface. You may vary the setting of the
temperature control knob at any time during
cooking, depending on the types of foods
being prepared. Use our preset temperatures
for crêpes, pizzelle, and tortillas.
2. Cooking is based on time. All recipes are
given a recommended time for cooking
and our preset times make cooking perfect
crêpes, pizzelle, and tortillas easy. Times
are approximate. Please refer to the Recipe
Chart and Recipes for guidelines. Timer
works only in the locked closed position.
3. For fastest preheat we recommend preheat-
ing in the closed position. Be sure to use
caution when adjusting to a different cooking
position.
Helpful tips for crêpe making:
1. Always allow the crêpe batter to rest in refrigerator before cooking. It is recommended
to rest for at least 30 minutes (preferably
overnight if time allows). Resting the batter
gives time for the gluten in the flour to relax
and the starch molecules to fully absorb
the liquid. This creates a thicker batter and
ultimately more even and delicate crêpes. A
cooler, rested batter may also prevent any
unnecessary overflow.
2. The best temperature setting for crêpes is
the preset (medium). Should crêpes seem
thick, or if you like them darker or lighter, the
temperature may need to be adjusted.
3. Generally, crêpes take about 1½ minutes to
cook, which is the preset time. Certain crêpe
recipes, like the Crespelle, require less time.
Also if lighter or darker crêpes are desired,
adjust cooking time accordingly.
CLEANING, CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
•
Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch
the nonstick plates. Instead, use the provided
tongs, or wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the
hot plates. This includes the provided tongs.
• Allow the unit to cool down completely (at
least 30 minutes) before cleaning.
Once you have finished cooking, remove plug
from electrical outlet. Leave lid open so plates
begin to cool. Allow the unit to cool down com
-
pletely before handling.
Press the plate release buttons to remove
plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates
have cooled completely before handling (at
least 30 minutes). The plates, measuring scoop
and tongs can be washed in the dishwasher,
the wooden mini ice cream cone roller should
be handwashed. Do not use metal objects such
as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a
scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating
can be damaged.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft damp cloth.
Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.
NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.

STORAGE/LOCKING LID
Store with plates inserted and cord wrapped
securely around the back of the unit. For com
pact storage, stand the unit on its back end
with control panel facing up. The unit has been
designed with a special latching feature so the
lid stays closed during storage.

The retail store shall then, at its discretion,
either repair the product, refer the consumer to
an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the
amount directly attributable to the consumer’s

accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer
will be responsible for the reasonable cost of
such service, repair, replacement, or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.

Silver Dollar Pancakes
This is a great all-purpose pancake recipe to
have up your sleeve for breakfast. It can be
dressed up by mixing in fresh or frozen fruit,
or nuts and chocolate chips.
Makes about 24, two and a half-inch pancakes
2 large eggs
1½ cups buttermilk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or
melted and cooled butter
1½ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1. Put the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla in
a small bowl and whisk to blend until
smooth. Whisk in oil; reserve.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a medi-
um bowl. Whisk to blend. Add to the
liquid mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix, or pancakes will
be thin and tough – batter should be a
bit lumpy.
3. Preheat the International Chef™ Crêpe/
Pizzelle/Pancake Plus with the flat
plates. Adjust temperature to Med-High.
Once preheated, carefully open to the
flat position.
4. Using the small scoop, drop batter onto
preheated griddle, about 4 per plate
(if you like extra-buttery pancakes, put
about 1 teaspoon of butter on each
plate and immediately drop batter on
plates). Cook pancakes until bubbles
form, about 2 to 3 minutes; flip and
cook until done, another 2 minutes.
5. Transfer to warm plates to serve. As you
finish each batch of pancakes, you can
keep them warm on a wire rack placed
on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
Repeat until all the batter is used.

Sugar Cones
You may find that these cones disappear
before you even add the ice cream.
Makes 15 cones
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose
flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large egg whites
½ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted and slightly cooled
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Stir together the flour and salt in a
small bowl. In a medium bowl whisk
together the egg whites with the sugar
until incorporated. Whisk in the butter
and vanilla extract and then finally the
dry ingredients.
2. Preheat the International Chef
™
Crêpe/
Pizzelle/Pancake Plus fitted with the pizzelle plates by adjusting the temperature to Medium. Set the timer to 2½
minutes.
3. Using the small scoop, put the batter in
the middle of each pizzelle/cone mold
on the hot plate. Close cover and lock
to activate timer and begin cooking.
Tone will sound when time has expired.
4. Using tongs very carefully (cones will
be hot ) remove one cone at a time
and place on a flat work surface.
Place the cone mold in the center of
the circle and wrap one side on top of
the mold and then roll it on the work
surface to meet the other side. Press
the mold down on the counter using
the tongs with the seam side down to
seal. Carefully remove and repeat with
remaining cones.
4. Repeat with remaining batter.
