IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and
manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that
you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all
instructions and important safeguards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed as below:
8. Avoid contact with moving parts.
9. Do not let the power cord hang over
the edge of a table or counter or
touch any hot surface.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not use the appliance for other
than intended use.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
13. To disconnect, remove the plug
from the wall outlet.
14. Do not clean the appliance with
metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off from the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of
electrical shock.
15. Some countertop and table
surfaces, such as Corian®, wood,
stone and /or laminates, are
not designed to withstand
prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. It is strongly
recommended by countertop
manufacturers and Maxi-Matic that
a hot pad or trivet be placed under
your Elite buffet server to prevent
possible damage to the countertop
surface.
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock,
do not place any part of the toaster
in water or other liquid.
3. If the power cord is damaged,
the manufacturer (or a similarly
qualied person) must replace it in
order to avoid a hazard.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is being used by or
near children.
5. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may cause re,
electric shock or injury.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow
appliance to cool completely before
putting on or taking off parts.
7. 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 of its service agent for
examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the exten-
sion cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the product; (2)
the extension cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

HOW TO USE
1. Set up the crepe maker as above and once it reaches
cooking temperature (green light comes on) pour some
crepe batter onto the baking plate, spreading it with a
circular movement using a batter spreader (not included).
2. When you pour the batter onto the hot baking plate,
you might hear some slight crackling noises caused by
differences in temperature and voltage. This does not
damage the appliance.
3. The green light will go on and off repeatedly during use.
This indicates when the unit is heating up in order to
maintain the required temperature.
4. Allow the crepe to cook until the surface is no longer liquid
and the crepe can be moved slightly.
5. Insert the spatula under a third of the crepe, lift the crepe
and turn it over.
6. Leave the crepe to cook briey until done. Lift it slightly
with the spatula to check. The crepe should be visibly
cooked through but not yet brown. Cooked this way, it can
be easily folded or rolled.
7. Remove the crepe from baking plate.
8. If you wish to cook another crepe and the last crepe was
too dark, turn the temperature down slightly.
9. When nished, remove the plug from the wall outlet and
let the appliance cool.
10. Spread or ll the crepe according to taste and fold it or roll
it.
