6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your grill, please refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grill does not heat up. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; temperature knob set to 'OFF'. | Ensure the grill is securely plugged in. Check the power outlet with another appliance. Turn the temperature knob to a desired heat setting. |
| Food sticks to the plates. | Plates not properly cleaned; excessive residue; cooking at too high a temperature without oil. | Clean plates thoroughly before use. Ensure plates are preheated. Lightly brush plates with cooking oil if necessary, especially for first use. |
| Smoke or unusual odor during first use. | Residual manufacturing oils burning off. | This is normal for the first few uses. Ensure good ventilation. If smoke persists, unplug and contact support. |
| Uneven cooking. | Food not evenly distributed; grill not fully preheated. | Ensure food is spread evenly. Allow the grill to fully preheat until the 'Ready' light indicates. |
