15. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface, a little held aloof from the edge.
16. When using this machine for the first time, there may be a smell of smoke coming from the surface of the heating element, This is normal because of the oil protective coating in production.
17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
    1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
    2. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
    3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or table top where it could be pulled on by children over unintentionally.

SETTING UP

• Install the crepe maker and its accessories.
• Undo the lead and firmly plug in, first to the appliance and then to electrical socket.
• Control cooking temperature with the thermostat.
  For example: position Middle for sweet and savory Brittany (France) crepes. The indicator will light up. When it goes off after 6 to 7 minutes, the appliance is ready for use.
• Before cooking your first crepe and between cooking each crepe, grease the griddle with a cotton cloth lightly moistened with cooking oil.
• Temperature settings are given for information only. You can change them according to your needs.
• When setting Max, spread the batter using the wooden scraper.

USING THE WOODEN SCRAPER

• The wooden scraper is traditionally used to spread the crepes or galettes batter. You must pull the batter with the scraper but don't push it back.
• For right-handed persons: hold the scraper in the right hand between the thumb and the forefinger, the handle is supported by the other fingers.
• Pour the batter in one go on the left part of the griddle.
• Place the scraper behind the batter.
• Spread the batter with the scraper while turning and pulling by small jerks in clockwise directions.
• Each movement of scraper must spread batter, do not go over areas that have been spread or the crepe may rip.
• Continue to spread the batter until you have made a perfectly round crepe or a galette.

MAINTENANCE

The non-stick griddle does not require any special maintenance. After each crepe has been cooked, simply wipe it with a cotton cloth. Cotton is less abrasive than some kitchen papers.

• Avoid using chemical cleansing products and abrasive sponges on the non-stick griddle.
• Clean the coated frame and base with a damp sponge.
• 
  never immerse this appliance in water-unplug it before cleaning.
• If you need to replace the lead, do so with a lead of the same type and ensure it has a <<hot conditions>> connecting plug for the side of the appliance.
