Operation

Start-up

Clean the crêpe plates before start-up using a cloth soaked in cooking fat, in order to remove the industrial protective fats.
The installed device is ready for operation. Make sure the gas supply is open.
When igniting the device for the first time after installation, press the gas button, turn it to maximum and keep it pressed for 5 seconds so the air remaining in the gas pipe can escape via the burner. Let go the button.
Turn the control knob to the left in order to open the gas tap. · Insert the flame between crêpe plate and base and press the control knob in this position in order to ignite the burner fully.
Keep the control knob pressed for 5 to 10 seconds in order to activate the safety system with the thermocouple.
Let go the control knob and let the burner heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Afterwards set the control knob to position ,,1″ (pilot flame or no flame).
Your device is now ready for use.

Preparation of the crêpe plate

The following steps are necessary in case the cs are new. They will take up to 1 to 1 ½ hours and relieve the lifting of the Crepes and further reduce the cooking of the batter on the crêpe plate. Set the control knob for approx. 5 minutes to temperature stage ,,8″ and afterwards to ,,2″. Leave the control knob in position ,,2″ for the rest of heat-up time.

As soon as the crêpe plate has become hot enough pour a table spoon of cooking oil on the crêpe plate.
Spread the oil equally using a cotton cloth (Do not use synthetic fibers). Let the fat bake in for 5 to 10 minutes until the crêpe plate becomes brownish and dry.
Repeat these two steps 8 times. Maintain the 5 to 10 minutes baking time but decrease the amount of cooking oil every time.
Whether you have properly heated up the crêpe plates is indicated by its color (dark brown). If the crêpe plates remain too light => Increase the burner flame. In case the crêpe plates become too dark => Decrease the burner flame.
Making crêpes
Set the control knob for approx. 3 to 4 minutes to temperature stage ,,8″. If the crêpe plate does not immediately start cooking, turn the knob to pilot flame. For permanent operation the control knob must be set between ,,2″ and ,,5″.

WARNING! Burn hazard!
The crêpe plates become very hot during use so do not touch the crêpe plates with your bear fingers or hands. Use safety gloves that reach over your wrists.

Apply a small amount of fat on the crêpe plate before first use. Afterwards just apply fat when you find it is required.
Pour the appropriate batter on the crêpe plate and spread it with the suitable batter spreader.
Pay attention to the amount of batter as otherwise the excess batter will pour down the sides and dirty the device.
In order to spread the batter smoothly on the crêpe plate, make sure you always place the batter spreader in cold water.
In order to turn the crêpes on the plate use the suitable batter spatula.

WARNING! Burn hazard!
Touching hot pastries with bare fingers or hands leads to burns! Therefore you must remove ready pastries only by using the suitable batter spatula!

Switch-off the device when it is not used.

Hints

Avoid applying ingredients that may destroy the heat-up coating, e.g. lemons, citrons etc. In these cases you should garnish the crêpes on a separate plate.
Wipe over the crêpe plate before pouring another portion of batter as the crêpe plate becomes to greasy otherwise.
Do not polish the crêpe plate as this would damage the heat-up coating and its adherence.
When working with a very hot crêpe plate the crêpes become better and more tender.

The batter floats on the crêpe plate or sticks to the batter spreader:

– Do not apply fat. Wipe the crêpe plate with a dry cloth. A batter containing too much fat can have the same effect.

The batter just cooks (does not bake) and sticks to the crêpe plate:

– The crêpe plate has not been heated up sufficiently. Heat up the crêpe plate for some more time;
– Scrape off the burnt batter and heat up the plate one more time.

The batter just cooks:

– The batter is to liquid or the crêpe plate too hot.

The crêpe plate sticks:

– Apply some fat on the crêpe plate using some frying oil, yolk or butter.

Settings

The changeover to a different type of gas may only be performed by qualified personnel.

Replacing the injector (burner injector)

In case the device is installed already you must shut the gas valve of the the gas pipe gas cylinder.

Remove, if necessary, the crêpe plates and turn the device upside down.
Open the air supply as far as possible be moving the adjusting ring (Fig. 5, Pos. 1).
Remove the injector (Fig. 5, Pos. 2) using a screw-wrench of size 10.
Replace the injector and gasket.
Set the adjusting ring for air supply to 12 mm and screw it tight.
Put the old injector back into the bag with the other injectors and store it carefully. Pay attention to the paragraph ,,Start-up” of this manual.

Pilot flame (Figure 6)

When the devices are preset for the use of butane / propane gas, the set screw of the pilot flame is turned all the way to the left.
If you want to change from butane / propane gas operation to natural gas operation, you must unscrew the set screw, until the pilot flame is correctly set.
The pilot flame is correctly set when the flame does not extinguish while being quickly turned from maximum to minimum setting. The flame should be as low as possible and at every hole half as large as a pinhead.

Cleaning and maintenance

Safety advice

Before beginning with repair or cleaning works make switch-off the device and has cooled down.
Do not use any acid agents and make sure no water ingresses the device.

CAUTION!
“The device is not suited for direct washing via water jets.
Therefore, you must not use any kind of pressure water jet for cleaning the device!

Cleaning

Clean the device regularly. o Do not wash the device in a dish washer at any time.
Clean the batter spreader and batter spatula regularly using warm water und a mild detergent.

Cleaning the base

Let the device cool off before cleaning. This will prevent you from burns. Clean the base of the device with a soft, sponge soaked in mild detergent. Do not use any scouring agents, abrasives or steel/scratch/wire brushes. Cleaning the crêpe plates
Remove baking residues after baking while they are still warm using a paper towel or a soft, damp cloth.

CAUTION!
Do not use water for cleaning the hot plates!

Do not clean the crêpe plates with a detergent at any time.
After some time a crust remains on the crêpe plate. This is absolutely normal. This is the heat-up coating which flakes off easily. Rub the coat thinner regularly (according to use). This will avoid heavy stains and the surface condition will be preserved.

Cleaning the burner

Check the condition of the burner ports regularly. If these are blocked, brush off the burner arms with a stiff-bristled brush.
Do not clean the injectors with metal objects/items. These could alter the technical attributes of the burner.
Remove the injectors for cleaning purposes (see paragraph ,,Settings”). Immerse the injectors into a grease dissolving agent, rinse the injectors thoroughly and dry them properly. We recommend to replace the gaskets during every cleaning procedure.
Make sure that you also regularly check the connection lead to the gas pipe or gas cylinder and replace these parts if necessary.
Only use a soft cloth and make sure you never use any kind of abrasive agents or pads which could scratch the surface.
