PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Finish on cooking plates is
scratched or has cut marks.

surface of the plates. Never
use metal spatulas, skewers,
tongs, forks or knives.
The green ready light turns
on and off.
The heating
elements are cycling.
This is normal. The green
light turns on when the set
temperature is reached.
However, it will cycle on
and off to indicate the
correct temperature is being
maintained.
Marks on food are very light.
The food looks steamed.
Appliance was not
fully preheated
before use.
Always preheat fully before
cooking any foods.
There is food buildup on the
cooking plates.

properly cleaned
after use.
Use nylon scrubbing pad and
hot, soapy water to clean the
plates. Do not use steel wool
scrubbing pads or abrasive
cleaners.

both sides, it cooks much
faster than in a skillet or under
a broiler. Use cooking chart
as a guide and check food at
lowest time stated on chart.
Appliance does not turn on. Appliance is not
plugged in.
Check to be sure appliance is
plugged into working outlet.
Cooking plates have white
spots.
The water from
