Maintenance and Care

• Emptying the Grease Trap: Regularly remove and empty the Teflon-coated grease trap after each use. Wash it with warm, soapy water.
• Cleaning the Heating Element: Ensure the heating element is unplugged and cool. Wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the heating element or electrical components in water.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the grill and lid with a damp cloth. The porcelain coating is durable and easy to clean.
• Storage: Store the grill in a dry, protected area when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Techwood Electric Grill, refer to the following common solutions:

• Grill Not Heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the grill and a functioning electrical outlet. Check the temperature control unit to ensure it is set to an active heating level.
• Uneven Heating: Ensure the heating element is properly seated. Allow sufficient preheating time for the grill to reach a consistent temperature across the grate.
• Excessive Smoke: While some smoke is normal, especially with drippings, excessive smoke may indicate a buildup of grease. Ensure the grease trap is clean and empty. For indoor use, ensure adequate ventilation.
