CREPE MACHINE
OPERATING MANUAL

Woven among the threads of ancient Aztec legend lies
the story of Sephra, an enchanting goddess whose beauty
could be described only as the richness of the dark earth
combined with the luster and glow of pure gold. Her voice
was soer than the most delicate ower, and her presence
carried the aroma of sweet cocoa. It was Sephra who gave
the ancient Aztecs the precious gi of the cocoa tree.
e legend reveals that the spirit of Sephra nourished
the cocoa trees and lived within the priceless beans
they produced. e Aztec kings named the cocoa tree
“eobroma Cacao,” meaning “food of the gods.” So valuable
were cocoa beans that they were used to pay tribute to
royalty and were given as sacred oerings to the gods.
Montezuma, the ruler of the wealthy Aztec Empire, was so
enchanted by Sephra that he commissioned an elite force of
skilled artisans and master crasmen to construct a temple in
her honor. As a special oering to the goddess, Montezuma built
a magnicent fountain in the highest room of the temple and
lled it with glistening spring water, which owed from beneath
its walls. He then surrounded the fountain with a splendid array
of the most perfect cocoa beans, in hopes that Sephra would
continue to bless the people with the unique and valuable crop.
So pleased was Sephra with Montezuma’s gi that she
came to him in a dream and told him that her spirit would
always live in the fountain he had given her. Moments later,
Montezuma awoke to the sweet smell of cocoa lingering in
the air. e aroma led him to the upper room of the temple
where Sephra’s fountain stood. To his astonishment, the
fountain no longer owed with water, but with the richest,
purest chocolate . . . this was truly a gi fromthe gods . . .
For centuries, Sephra’s fountain remained hidden beneath the
ruins of the ancient Aztec temple, waiting to be discovered.
At long last it was, and with it was unveiled the secret of the
pure, rich chocolate once coveted by gods and kings . . .

USING THIS
APPLIANCE
The surfaced cast iron griddles need seasoning before using for the rst time.
Seasoning the griddles
Caution: This operation (lasting 1 to 1 1/2 hour) is necessary when griddles are new.. Use frying oil without other ingredient.
For successful seasoning:
• Plug the power supply cable.
• Switch on the appliance.
• Heat the appliance in heating to 270°C. Your appliance reaches the required temperature when the orange indicator light goes out.
• Keep the appliance at this temperature for the duration of seasoning.
• Pour the equivalent of a tablespoon of cooking of frying oil into the centre of the griddle.
• Using a wiper pad spread oil evenly, and then let it cook for 5 to 10 minutes so that the griddle becomes burnished and
completely dry.
• Repeat previous operation eight times, decreasing the amount of oil used each time, but carefully respecting the 5 - 10 minutes
cooking time for each layer of oil.
A well-seasoned griddle is chestnut coloured (dark brown) and has a shine.
Necessary Equipment
Here is a list of advisable accessories for successful crêpe making:
• A spreader (18 - 20cm).
• Brush and water tray to clean the wood spreader.
• A wooded or stainless steelT-Stick.

RECIPES
COOKING
Wheat Pancakes
For 20 crepes:
Put 1 teaspoon of buckwheat our (optional)
100 to 125g sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
25g of melted unsalted butter or 1 table spoon of canola
1 teaspoon vanilla extract and
and 10cl of water into a bowl.
Stir it all and gradually add 200g of wheat our and 1/2 cup low-
fat milk until you obtain a fully smooth lump free mixture.
Gradually add a further half litre of milk stirring all the time. Add
the rest of the milk gradually.
&
Buckwheat Crepes
For 15 crepes:
Put 250g of buckwheat our
1 dessert spoon of wheat our
1 glass of water (12cl)
1 teaspoon of course salt
and 1 egg into a bowl.
Stir to form a compact ball. Add one glass of semi-skimmed milk,
stir in then beat for approximately 5 minutes to obtain a fully
smooth batter.
Gradually add 3 more glasses of milk.
• Use cooking oil for greasing the griddles.
• Cooking temperature for crepes is approximately between 20w
• Before spreading the rst crepe, or before each crepe making session, lightly grease the griddle with the cleaning pad.
• To make a crepe, pour a ladle of batter on the hot griddle. Spread the batter with the Crepe T-Stick.
• Whilst cooking, simply wipe the griddle with the cleaning pad and only add oil if your crepes stick.
• If the appliance remains heated for a long time without being used, ensure you lightly grease the griddle before re-use.
Cooking
• If the batter runs on the griddle or sticks to the spreader: do not grease.Wipe the griddle with a pad. Badly-made batter can have
the same effect.
• If the batter bubbles and sticks to the griddle:You have not seasoned enough: continue the seasoning operation.The griddle is
charred: scrape and redo the seasoning operation.The griddle is charred or the seasoning unsticks: scrape the griddle with an
abrasive stone and start another seasoning.
• The batter only bubbles: It is too runny or badly-made or else the griddle is too hot.
• If the griddle only sticks: lightly grease with a little oil.
• If you add the llings on the griddle on which you spread the batter: Avoid certain llings which can spoil the seasoning (e.g. lemon,
tomato).Wipe the griddle before spreading the next crepe.
• Do not polish the griddles as the seasoning operation will not maintain its good surface.

MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
• Clean the frame with a sponge dipped in warm water and diluted liquid detergent
• Never use abrasive products or metallic brushes.
• Do not clean the appliance under owing water.
• Do not immerse the appliance.
• Due to the high temperature of the appliance, it is normal for the stainless steel to turn brown in time.
Before cleaning your appliance, unplug it and let the griddle cool down. Read the general rules
applicable to electrical equipment before any action on the appliance.
After use, simply wipe the griddle; do not wash it.
CAREFUL: never suddenly cool plates.
Preparing crepes requires a contribution of fat on the griddle.
• Lubricating by the wiper pad.
• Fat in the batter according to recipes
These fats will gradually thicken the initial seasoning. Avoid seasoning that does become too thick because:
• It acts as an insulator and interferes with the cooking.
• It is aking off or giving the impression that the metal disintegrates.
Therefore strip regularly using an abrasive stone.
If the seasoning is too thick default regular stripping, it is possible stripping the plate by blasting (contact our customer service).
After these operations, a seasoning must be redone.
