ASSEMBLY
The SODIR crepe machine comes from the factory completely assembled. It is
shipped with plastic exterior protective film, which must be removed before
operation.
DO NOT operate the machine prior to removing the protective film
completely!
OPERATION
Initial Set-up
We recommend you clean the surface of your crepe maker with a soft rag
moistened with a solution of soap and water before first use. A common green
nylon scrubbing pad may be used to remove any carbon deposits that may build up
over time, but do not use anything like wire brushes or steel wool, as this will
scratch the surface.
Preheating
To preheat the crepe maker, select the temperature by rotating the thermostat knob(s)
clockwise to the desired temperature setting. Both indicator lights (green and
orange) will be lit, except for the –FE models which only have the temperature
indicator. The orange light will stay on until the crepe zone reaches the desired
temperature, and then cycle on and off. The green light will stay on until the unit is
turned off. Allow about 20 minutes for the preheating process.
Cooking
The SODIR crepe machines can be used for a wide variety of foods. Baking times
will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired results. After
depositing batter on the top plate of the unit, use the T·shaped wooden batter
spreader provided with the machine to achieve uniform distribution of batter over the
surface of the plate. It will usually take 30 seconds to 1 minute for the crepe like
product to be baked to golden brown on both sides. It is recommended to turn the
crepe over approximately half way through baking.
To turn the crepe machine off, place the thermostat knob in the OFF position. The
red indicator light will go out.
