TROUBLESHOOTING
12 ∙ troubleshooting
While our products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the
problems listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions
recommended below or not included on this page, please contact our
Customer Support Team at 1-800-898-6970 or [email protected].
1. The light on the Personal Griddle keeps shutting off.
• This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will
automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure
that the Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When this occurs,
the Indicator Light turns on and off.
2. How do I know when the Personal Griddle is heated and ready to use?
• When the Griddle reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light
shuts off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!
3. I am cooking meat on the Personal Griddle and there is juice on the
Cooking Surface. What do I do?
• Carefully dab the Cooking Surface around the meat with a paper towel
or napkin. If there is a lot of juice, remove the food from the Surface with
heat-resistant plastic or silicone tongs and set aside. Then, wrap a paper
towel around the tongs and use this to wipe the Cooking Surface and
soak up the juices. When done, return the food to the Personal Griddle
and continue cooking.

4. There is no On/Off Button. How do I turn the Personal Griddle off and on?
• To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When you’re done cooking,
turn off the Personal Griddle by unplugging it.
5. When using my Personal Griddle, the Cover gets very hot. Is this normal?
• Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Griddle, always lift and
lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. To prevent personal injury, DO
NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is
hot and may cause injury. Lift from the side.
6. After using my Personal Griddle a few times, food is starting to stick to the
surface. What is happening?
• There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking
Surface. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the
appliance to cool fully, pour on a little cooking oil and let sit for 5–10
minutes. Scrub Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge
food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Rinse
the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, pour on cooking oil and let sit
for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
7. The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to
heat.
• Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
• Check to make sure the power outlet is operating correctly.
• Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment or
building.
