Introduction

It’s time to stop loafing around and eat more crepes! The CucinaPro Cordless Crepe Maker allows consumers to cook crepes using a dipping plate that doubles as a cooking surface. The device powers through standard household electric supplies of 110-120V and 60Hz. Easy to use and relatively durable, it is a perfect way to introduce oneself to French cuisine. With that said, Bon Appetit!

The CucinaPro crepe maker has two main components: a heating body and a power base.
Disconnect the power base from the heating body to prevent undesired heating. Also disconnect from power so you don't die!

Étape 2

Flip over the heating body of the crepe maker to access bottom screws.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew 7 #1-20 x11mm and 1 #1-20x7mm screws along the bottom of the heating pan and the handle.

Étape 3

Lift dipping pan from the plastic casing.
Dipping pan connects to plastic casing with nondetachable wiring.
The two wires connected to the black connector transfer the AC power from the base to the heating coil underneath the pan surface.
White sleeves surround the wires, protecting them from heat damage.
The black connector also holds a grounding strip not connected to a wire.
Used crepe makers will probably look as dirty as this. Unless you are the cleanest person to ever exist.

Underneath the heating element are 4 black stands that provide stability by ensuring space between the bottom of the pan and the dipping plate.

Étape 6

Unscrew #1-20x6mm screw on black temperature sensor to reveal a gooey substance between sensor and the metal undercoating of the heating surface
While the coil heats and the heating surface is below optimal cooking temperature, power enters the coil and turns on the LED.
Upon reaching the optimal temperature, the power to the coil shuts off and the LED turns off, indicating the crepe is done.

Étape 7

Unscrew 3 #1-20x10mm screws from the bottom of the power base and separate 2 base pieces and a connector piece.
Connector piece allows electrical power flow from the wall socket to the heating body.
Also spy a model number on the bottom.
