Preparation of the Crêpe Plate
The following steps are necessary in case the Crêpe Plates 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.
1. As soon as the Crêpe Plate has become hot enough pour a table spoon of
cooking oil on the Crêpe Plate.
2. 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.
3. 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 baking plates remain too light => Increase the burner flame.
In case the baking 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.
