Cooking too slow. Ensure plates are fully installed.
Overfilled Sandwich Reduce the amount of ingredients in your sandwich.

Egg undercooked, bread not
done Extra-large eggs, frozen, or very cold ingredients may lengthen cooking time. Add additional cook-
ing time.
Egg overcooked. Cooking time may vary if you are using small eggs, scrambled or egg whites. Reduce cooking time
for future recipes.
Ingredients stick to nonstick
cooking plate Use a heat resistant rubber or wooden utensil to loosen any baked-on ingredients. Lightly spray

Bread too brown for sandwich Higher fat contents and sugars may cause breads to darken. Cook eggs and other ingredients first
and then add bread to finish cooking your sandwiches.

turn on or power light is not illu-
minated Check to make sure it is plugged into an electrical outlet. If not,
plugin to working electrical outlet.
Waffle taking too long to cook or
waffle not done. • Check recipe for waffle cooking time. Waffles are cooked when steaming stops.
• Slightly lift Cover, if waffle starts to release it is cooked. If it doesn't, continue to cook 1 to 2 min-
utes.
Difficulty closing Cover Reduce amount of mix-ins. Nuts or chocolate chips may make the cover difficult to close if you do
not spread the batter in the unit evenly when pouring batter onto Grids.
