Power
Why won’t my unit turn on?
Check to make sure your unit is plugged into a functional outlet.
Contact Customer Service at 1-800-726-0190.
Why is my unit turning itself off?
If the PLATE SELECT dial is not turned to ON within 10 minutes of the
unit being plugged in, the Griddler
®
Elite will enter SLEEP mode. All
lights will turn off. Turn the PLATE SELECT dial to ON to “wake up” the
unit and operate the unit as normal.
It is possible the unit overheated. Wait for the unit to cool down and try
again. If it does not turn back on, contact Customer Service at 1-800-
726-0190.
If already cooking and you want to change the temperature of the
current plate selection, you do not need to hit START/STOP button
again. Doing so will turn the unit off. Simply change the temperature
dial for the current plate selection and the unit will adjust automatically.
If your Griddler
®
Elite is not turned off or if you do not change any
settings, it will shut off automatically after 2 hours. This is a safety
feature.
Why won’t the plates get hot?
Confirm you have inserted the plates correctly into the connection
blocks. If the plates are not fitted correctly and securely, they will not
heat up. This is a safety feature.
Programming
Can I change my temperature or
plate selection when the unit is
already cooking?
Yes. To change temperature of your current plate selection, simply turn
the plate’s temperature dial and the unit will adjust automatically. To
change your plate selection, simply turn the PLATE SELECT dial and
set your new temperature.
Can I sear when I’m
already cooking?
Yes. Simply press the SEAR button(s) and the plates will preheat to sear
temperature. We recommend you take the food off during preheating to
SEAR. Once the SEAR cycle is complete, the unit will revert back to
previously selected temperatures.
Can I adjust my SEAR
cycle time?
You can only sear for 2 minutes max. However if you would like to sear
for less than 2 minutes, simply press the down arrow button.
