troubleshooting
While Yes Chef! 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 suppor[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 Grill reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts
off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!
3. 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.
4. When using my Personal Griddle, the Cover gets very hot. Is this normal?
Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Personal 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. Always lift from the side and beware that the Clip
Release can get very hot as well. Be sure to either let the appliance cool
down completely or wear an oven mitt when unclipping.

5. 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 Cooking
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.
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 power failure has occurred in your home, apartment
or building.
