IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1447 CORDLESS CREPE MAKER
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
- Read all instructions.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse power cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
- If the Power Base/Power Cord is damaged, the manufacturer (or a similarly qualified person) must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
- Do not use outside.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.
- Avoid contact with heated parts.
- The use of attachments not recommended or not sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer or its service agent for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
- Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch any hot surface.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not clean the appliance with metal scouring pads.
- Always unplug after use and before cleaning. To avoid electric shocks, never let the power unit, cord or plug get wet.
- Never use a damaged appliance, get it checked or repaired.
- Never use an unauthorized attachment.
- This is not intended for use by young children without supervision.
- Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- Use this appliance on a stable work surface.
- Only use the machine for its intended domestic use.
POLARIZED PLUG
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.
Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. Arrange the
longer cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children.
THIS DEVICE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure your electric supply is 110-120 Volt – 60 Hertz. This is normal US household current. Remove all packaging.
- When it is first switched on, the appliance may smell and emit some smoke. This is normal. We recommended that you preheat the appliance for 4 minutes without any food.
CLEANING AND CARE
- Before the first use, hand wash the dipping plate and wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth and oil it slightly. Due to the coating of the plate further greasing will not be necessary.
- After use, let the crepe maker cool before cleaning. Wipe any residue off with slightly dampened cloth.
- DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID.
- DO NOT PLACE IN DISHWASHER
HOW TO USE
For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when your baker is new you may notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.
- 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 crepe maker in the cordless base and plug into a wall outlet. Turn on the switch. The unit will start to heat and the control light will turn on.
- When the light turns off, the crepe maker is ready for use.
- Pour the batter into the dipping plate supplied.
- Lift the crepe maker from the base, turn it over and dip the black cooking surface into the batter at a slight angle.
- Dip the edge first then roll the crepe maker to fully coat the surface. This should take no longer than three seconds, it may drip slightly.
- Place the crepe maker back onto the cordless base.
- When the control light goes “ON” or there is a brown edge to the crepe it’s done.
- Simply turn the crepe maker upside down over a plate. If the crepe does not drop off – loosen the edge slightly with the plastic spatula supplied. It is not necessary to brown the other side.
- When finished, switch off the power switch and let the crepe maker cool on the base.
- The thickness of the crepes can be varied by holding the unit several seconds in the batter.
- Please make sure that the unit is hot enough before starting to bake, otherwise the batter will not adhere sufficiently. This may also occur if the batter contains too much butter.

TIPS FOR MAKING CREPES
KEEPING CREPES WARM
- If you want to serve crepes warm without baking, broiling, or frying them, cover the stack of crepes as they are made using a cover made of foil.
FREEZING OR REFRIGERATING CREPES
- Crepes will keep up to a month in the freezer or a week in the refrigerator.
- Stack a batch on a sheet or foil or waxed paper, then insert into a large plastic food storage bag and twist and fasten the opening, pressing out as much air as possible.
- To use the crepes, allow the crepes to warm up to room temperature. They will peel apart with a gentle pull. If you are in a hurry, the stack can be warmed by covering them with foil in a flat pan in a low oven.
CREPE SERVING HINTS
- Starting with a pile of flat crepes, you can use them in a number of ways, depending on whether you want a simple crepe 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:
- Fold in Quarters: Served plain (or spread with a thin filling) and served in sauce, or used hot off the pan for dipping in an appetizer dip.
- Rolled: Filled with a few spoonfuls of an entrée or dessert mixture and quickly baked or broiled, or filled with cold mousse, ice cream, or whipped cream.
- Stacked: To make a cake (gateau) or in a casserole dish, with appropriate fillings and toppings, served hot or cold.
