PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Finish on cooking
plates is scratched or
has cut marks.
Metal utensils have
been used.
Always use silicone,
heatproof plastic or
wood utensils to avoid
scratching nonstick
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.

very light. The food
looks steamed.
Appliance was not
fully preheated
before use.
Always preheat at least 8
minutes before cooking
any foods.
There is food buildup
on the cooking plates.
Plates were not
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.

Food is overcooked.
Particularly for the floating

than in a skillet or under
a broiler. Use COOKING

check food at lowest time
stated on chart.
