TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
Smoke is coming from the appliance when I plug it in.	If you are using the

appliance for the first time, this is normal and no cause for concern. If you are not using the appliance for the first time, check and ensure that the moulds (cooking plates) are clean, and no food particles are baked onto the plates. If it continues to emit smoke, do not use.
The appliance is not heating.| Check that the red power indicator light is illuminated. Check that the appliance is turned on at the mains switch. Check the household circuit breaker/safety switch.
How do I know the plates are hot enough?| When you connect the appliance to the power supply, the red and green indicator lights will illuminate. The appliance is ready for cooking when the moulds (cooking plates) are pre- heated and the green indicator light turns off.
The food is not cooked after 4-5 minutes.| Close the lid gently and cook for a longer period, regularly checking the progress.
Do the plates have to be locked together during use?| Yes, closing the lid and clipping the handles together ensures that the batter is safely enclosed in the moulds (cooking plates) during baking.
Batter has spilled out and is sticking to the edges of the cooking surfaces. How can I remove this?| Switch off the power at the wall outlet, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely. Use a nylon brush to remove any baked-on batter residues or another utensil that is safe for use on non-stick coated surfaces. If this does not work, use a damp cloth or sponge and a small amount of detergent to soak and wipe the spillage off the cooking surfaces.

Notice
It is important that you do not use metal utensils, which will damage the non- stick coating.
