7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Roaster does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; temperature knob set to "OFF". | Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a working outlet. Turn the temperature knob to a desired setting. |
| Food cooks unevenly. | Food not centered on rack; lid not properly sealed; incorrect temperature setting. | Ensure food is centered. Check that the lid is securely in place. Verify the temperature setting is appropriate for the food being cooked. |
| Smoke or odor during first use. | Residual manufacturing oils burning off. | This is normal for initial use. Ensure good ventilation. The odor should dissipate after the first use. |
