SEASONING THE CRÊPE MAKER The seasoning process will last about 1 to 1½ hours. Seasoning is an important step to prepare the surface for a natural nonstick finish. It makes removal of the crêpes easier and reduces bubbling when batter is applied and spread. 1. There is a protective coating on the cooking surface. Scrub the surface with steel wool and detergent to remove the coating and pre-clean prior to the seasoning process. 2. Plug unit into outlet in a well-ventilated area. 3. Switch ON the appliance and set to 570°F. Allow to heat until green READY light is lit. *Please note that as your crêpe maker heats up, the metal expands slightly, creating a pinging noise. This is completely normal. 4. Pour about a tablespoon of corn or peanut oil suitable for frying in the center of the cooking surface. Using a cotton cloth or paper towel (synthetic materials will adhere to the surface), spread the oil evenly and let cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the surface loses its initial sheen and appears dry. 5. Repeat step 4 eight times, burnishing the surface with the towel and decreasing the amount of oil used each time until a deep amber color and smooth, non-tacky surface has developed. 5
