7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your buffet server, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on:
  Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is receiving power by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the temperature control knobs are not in the "OFF" position.
• Food is not warming sufficiently:
  Confirm that the temperature control knobs are set to an appropriate warming level (LOW, HIGH, or WARM). Ensure the lids are properly seated on the pots to prevent heat loss. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to heat up.
• Uneven heating:
  Stir food periodically to ensure even heat distribution. Ensure the pots are correctly seated on the heating elements.
• Lids fog up:
  This is normal due to condensation from the warm food. It does not affect performance.

If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact customer support.
