Troubleshooting
•
The seal plate can be cleaned with a mild degreaser. Spray the degreaser onto a soft rag or paper towel
and clean the plate while cool.
CLEANING THE CUT OFF ROD
• Make sure that the unit is turned off and the cut off rod is cool to the touch.
•
Cover the surface with paper towels to protect it from over spray and debris.
• Spray the cut-off rod generously with
FDA approved degreaser.
• After soaking, lightly scrub the surface of the cut-off rod with a scour pad.
•
Wipe the surface clean of debris and residue with clean paper towels or cloths.
•
Repeat degreaser as needed until the rod is clean.
CLEANING THE UNIT
•
The unit can be completely wiped down using mild cleaning detergent and soft rags or paper towels. Do
not hose down or submerge the unit in water or other liquids.
Symptom
Possible Solution
No power to the unit.
Verify the unit is plugged into a 15A circuit, and the power switch is set to the
on position.
Is the GFCI circuit breaker tripped?
1. Remove “non-stick” cover and inspect the seal plate for the following
defects:
Punctures or cuts.
Burn marks.
Discoloration.
If these defects are present, replace seal plate.
2. If seal plate is in good condition, reset GFCI. If GFCI cannot be reset,
replace the GFCI.
3. Reset new GFCI. Red power light at right front of unit should glow.
4. If GFCI trips, seal plate may have moisture inside. Allow 1-2 days to dry
out and then retry.
