    • 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.

    • 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.
