PROBABLE CAUSE
• Multifunction Cooker wasn't preheated. The indicate light will come on when plug and it come
off when the unit is preheated. The indicator light will come on when preheating and will turn off
when temperature is met.
•Allow cooking plates to preheat for 3-6 minutes before use.
•Preheat the the cover closed.
•Indicator light will cycle on and off and does not indicate food readiness.
Ensure plates are fully installed.
Reduce the amount of ingredients in your sandwich.
Reduce the amount of waffle butter.
Extra-large eggs, frozen, or very cold ingredients may lengthen cooking time. Add additional cook-
ing time.
Cooking time may vary if you are using small eggs, scrambled or egg whites. Reduce cooking time
for future recipes.
Use a heat resistant rubber or wooden utensil to loosen any baked-on ingredients. Lightly spray
with nonstick cooking spray before preheating for next use.
Higher fat contents and sugars may cause breads to darken. Cook eggs and other ingredients first
and then add bread to finish cooking your sandwiches.
Check to make sure it is plugged into an electrical outlet. If not,
plugin to working electrical outlet.
• Check recipe for waffle cooking time. Waffles are cooked when steaming stops.
• Slightly lift Cover, if waffle starts to release it is cooked. If it doesn't, continue to cook 1 to 2 min-
utes.
Reduce amount of mix-ins. Nuts or chocolate chips may make the cover difficult to close if you do
not spread the batter in the unit evenly when pouring batter onto Grids.
• Spray a small amount of cooking spray on Grids before preheating.
• Waffle isn't fully cooked. Wait until steaming stops to remove waffle.
• Grids need to be cleaned. Clean Grids after each use.
