Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a working outlet and the temperature knob is turned to a setting other than "0". Check if the red indicator light is on.
• Food not cooking evenly: Ensure the plates are clean and properly installed. Allow the appliance to fully preheat (green light off) before adding food. Adjust temperature settings as needed.
• Plates difficult to remove/install: Ensure the release button is fully pressed and the plates are aligned correctly with the card slots. Do not force them.
• Smoke or odor during first use: This is normal and typically dissipates after the initial use as manufacturing residues burn off. Ensure adequate ventilation.
