TROUBLEShOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Finish on grill plates is
scratched or has cut
marks.
Metal utensils have been
used.
Always use silicone,
heatproof plastic, nylon
or wood utensils to avoid
scratching nonstick surface
of grill plates. Never use
metal spatulas, skewers,
tongs, forks or knives.
The READY indicator light
turns on and off.
The heating elements
are cycling.
This is normal. The light
comes on when the grill
is plugged in and goes off
once the set temperature
is reached. However, it will
cycle on and off to indicate
the correct temperature is
being maintained.
Grill marks on food are
very light. The food looks
steamed.
Grill was not fully
preheated before use.
Always preheat grill at least
5 minutes before cooking
any foods.
There is food buildup on
grill plates.
Grill not properly
cleaned after use.
Use nylon scrubbing pad
and hot, soapy water to
clean grill plates. Do not
use steel wool scrubbing
pads or abrasive cleaners
to clean grill.
Food is dry and burnt.
Food is overcooked.
Since grill is cooking from
both sides, food is cooked
much faster than in a
skillet or under a broiler.
Use GRILLING CHART as
a guide and check food
at lowest time stated on
chart.
Grill does not turn on.
Grill is not plugged in.
Check to be sure appliance
is plugged into working
outlet and On/Off (I/O)
switch is in the ON (I)
position.
Grill plates have white
spots.
The water from cleaning
has dried on the surface
of the grill plates.
Dry grill plates immediately
after washing.
