Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Low, poor, or slow
heating.
Egg undercooked,
bread not done.
Egg overcooked.
Ingredients stick to
rings or nonstick
cooking plate.
Eggs leak out of rings.
Cover rises when
cooking my sandwich.
Bread too brown.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Breakfast sandwich maker wasn’t preheated until PREHEAT light was illuminated. Green PREHEAT light will come
on in about 5 to 7 minutes indicating unit is heated to the correct temperature. Light will cycle and does not
indicate sandwich is ready.
• Allow 2 minutes between making sandwiches for breakfast sandwich maker to heat to the correct temperature.
• Overfilled. Reduce amount of ingredients in your sandwich.
• Unit needs to be preheated with the cover closed with rings and cooking plate in place.
• Make sure cooking plate is rotated securely to back of ring as far as it will go, to prevent leaking of egg, and
cover Is closed when preheating.
• Extra large eggs, frozen, or very cold ingredients may lengthen cooking time. Add additional cooking time.
• Cooking time is about 5 minutes. Cooking time may vary if you are using small eggs, scrambled or egg whites.
Reduce cooking time for future recipes.
• Use a plastic or wooden utensil to loosen any baked-on ingredients. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray
before preheating for next use.
• Unit is overfilled. Only use large eggs and reduce amount or size of ingredients. Do not press down on the
cover.
• Cooking plate may not have been in the correct position. Make sure cooking plate is rotated securely to back of
ring as far as it will go to prevent leaking of egg.
• Used very thin purchased egg whites. Use fresh egg white or try a different brand of egg whites.
• The air whisked into a large scrambled egg may cause the cover to rise while the egg is cooking. Do not press
down on the cover.
• Higher fat contents and sugars may cause breads too darken. Cook egg for several minutes without bread and
cover down. Then add bread to finish cooking your sandwich.
