KNOW YOUR CREPE MAKER

BEFORE FIRST USE

CAUTION: Do not immerse the Crepe Maker MAIN BODY, POWER CORD or the PLUG, in water or any other liquids.

• Before using your Crepe Maker for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
•  Ensure the Crepe Maker is switched OFF at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.
• Check that the cooking plate is clean and free of manufacturing dust, by wiping the plate with a slightly damp soft cloth.
• Wipe the outside of your Crepe Maker with a slightly damp soft cloth.
• When the unit is heated for the first time it may emit a little smoke, this is normal and no cause for concern. It is simply manufacturing dust being burnt off the heating element and will disappear after the first use.

HOW TO USE YOUR CREPE MAKER

WARNING: The surface of your Crepe Maker will become hot, so exercise caution.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT use metal utensils to spread the batter, this will damage the nonstick cooking surface.
Always use the spreader and spatula supplied with the product.

1. Plug the appliance into the wall socket. The red power light and the Green working indicator will light up on standby mode. Set the control dial to the desired cooking temperature setting from light to dark. The red lamp will be ON constantly. The green lamp will light up when the appliance has stopped heating (when it reaches the desired temperature or when it is on standby mode).
2. Preheat the unit on either light or dark setting. Once the cooking plate is at the correct temperature for your recipe and the batter has been prepared, you can start making crepes or pancakes.
3. Spray a little oil onto the cooking plate. When making pancakes, spoon the batter onto the cooking plate. You will be able to cook up to 4 small pancakes at a time. Take care as the batter will spread. Flip them over after about 1 minute and start cooking the other side.
4. To cook crepes, heat the unit with low heat and use a spoon to pour a thin layer of batter onto the cooking plate. Use the batter spreader to spread the batter evenly in a circle over the cooking plate. When you have made a large circle, turn the control dial up to continue cooking.
   Spreading the batter on a low heat helps the crepe not to tear.
5. The crepe will be covered with little bubbles after 2 minutes. Loosen the edges with the wooden spatula and flip the crepe over. The second side will cook quicker. When it is golden brown, remove the crepe from the cooking plate. Repeat if you wish to make more crepes. You can keep crepes warm by placing them in an oven on a low heat setting and cover with greaseproof paper in between layers.
6. Switch OFF and remove the plug from the plug socket once you have finished.
   CAUTION: Coming in contact with hot surfaces can cause severe scalding. Never leave the appliance unattended during use. Adult supervision required when used by or near young children.

CLEAN AND MAINTENANCE

This appliance should be cleaned after each use.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the crepe maker in water or in a dishwasher!

• Always unplug your crepe maker from the mains power outlet socket before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
• Ensure that your crepe maker has completely cooled down before cleaning, as it gets very hot during use.
• Using a non-metallic utensil, gently scrape any residue off the surface of the cooking plate and wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
• To remove any stubborn residues, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the hardened batter.
  Allow to set for 5 minutes, and then wipe the softened batter off with a soft cloth.
• Do not use coarse scouring pads or steel wool for cleaning as these will damage the surface, only use products suitable for use on non-stick cooking surfaces.
• Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior. Dry thoroughly.

RECIPES

Ingredients for 10 crepes approximately:

• 500 ml light milk with 1.5% fat
• 1 egg
• 10 to 12 tablespoons flour for all uses
• a little margarine or oil or butter
• salt

Note: For sweet crepes, you can add 1 vanilla flavor.

Method: Sieve the flour.
In a bowl, put the milk, egg, a little salt and stir with a mixer or whisk. Gradually add the flour and stir continuously so that it does not clog.
Add flour slowly to achieve the density you want (that is, to have a mean dough density).
Cover the mixture and let stand for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
For baking, follow the instructions in “Use of the crepe maker”.
Serving tips

• If you want to keep the crepes warm until they are all baked, you can place the crepes prepared in the oven at 100℃.
• You can make the crepes and put them in the freezer, wrapped them (depending on how many you would like to bake each time) with film or foil so that they will be ready whenever you want them. Just defrost, fill them with ingredients of your choice and warm them up.
• You can keep them in the refrigerator for about a week, stacked on top of each other and wrapped with film.

Add the chopped spinach, salt, pepper, nutmeg and stir with a spatula on a rather high heat for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. In a deep pan, crush the ricotta cheese with a fork and mix with parmesan cheese and eggs. Add it to the cold spinach and stir until the filling materials are mixed. Put one tablespoon of the filling on one edge of each crepe. Wrap the crepe carefully by turning both edges inwards to close the filling.
To make the bechamel, heat the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Stir continuously at medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the milk, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg by stirring vigorously. When it is smooth, cook over low heat until it starts to thicken, stirring continuously.
Turn on the oven at 190°C.
Place the crepes stuck to one another in one or two buttered ovenproof dish to which you have spread 3-4 tablespoons of bechamel. Cover the crepes with the tomato sauce and pour the remaining bechamel and grated parmesan cheese. Bake them for about 15 minutes and serve them warm.
