Electric
Crepe Maker

Model CM5
Owner’s Manual & Recipe Guide

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug is intended to fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Non-Stick Cooking Surface

The non-stick cooking surface is not covered by the product
warranty. Care must be taken not to scratch or damage the finish
with sharp utensils, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. The surface
will provide years of non-stick performance with proper cleaning
and care taken during use and storage. Please save the carton for

future storage of your Crepe Maker.

Instructions For Use

1. Before using this Crepe Maker for the first time, "condition" the
non-stick surface by wiping the top with a paper towel soaked in
cooking oil, butter or shortening.

2. Prepare one of the batter recipes an hour or more ahead.
Plan to use up all of the batter (14-16 crepes), since any of the
crepes you don't use will keep several days in the refrigerator or
a month in the freezer.

3. Pour the batter into a shallow dish or pie pan, either glass, metal
or foil, slightly larger than the Crepe Maker. Plug the cord into a
120V AC outlet. Preheat the Crepe Maker until the Ready Light
illuminates (after about 3 minutes). This indicates that your
Crepe Maker is ready to be dipped into the batter.

4. When the Light is ON, turn the Crepe Maker over and dip into
batter at a slight angle, then flat, to quickly coat the surface,
almost to the edge. (See Figure 1.)

5. Remove from batter and set on Legs. The Light will go OFF.
Dipping and removing should take no more than 3 seconds. The
Crepe is done when the Ready Light goes ON or when slight
browning appears at the edges and it has almost stopped
steaming (about 45 seconds). (See Figure 2.)

Serving and Hints

Serving

Starting with a pile of flat crepes, you can use them in a number of
ways, depending on whether you want a simple sauced or a fancy
filled crepe. They can be served cold, warm, or hot, baked, broiled,
or crisp-fried in oil. Here are some ideas on handling crepes. See
recipes for ways to use various shapes.

Quartered. . . Crepes are folded into quarters when served plain (or
spread with thin filing) and served in sauce, or used "hot off the
Pan" for dipping in an appetizer dip.

Rolled. . . Fill with a few spoonfuls of an entrée or dessert mixture
and quickly bake or broil, fill with cold mousse, ice cream, or
whipped cream.
