6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grill does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; temperature dial is OFF. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Turn the temperature dial to a heat setting. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Overcrowding the grill; uneven food placement; temperature too low. | Do not overcrowd the grill. Arrange food in a single layer. Increase the temperature setting. Turn food periodically. |
| Excessive smoke. | Too much oil/fat on food; drip tray is full or not properly inserted. | Trim excess fat from food. Ensure the drip tray is clean and correctly positioned. While the grill reduces smoke, some smoke is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation. |
| Grill takes too long to heat up. | Temperature setting too low; insufficient preheating time. | Increase the temperature setting. Allow sufficient preheating time (5-10 minutes). |
