Troubleshooting
|
Problem |
Solution |
|
Smoke during grilling Grilling fatty foods: When grilling fatty meats or any other food with fatty ingredients, you will notice some smoke emitting from the food. Some splashing may occur. Once it hits the heating element, it will burn, therefore producing smoke. |
Solution 1: Fill Drip Tray with Water To help reduce smoke, put a small amount of water to cover the low surface of the drip tray (1/2 cup and not more). |
|
Solution 2: Ventilate To help get rid of smoke, place the grill near a ventilation hood. |
|
|
Solution 3: Clean Drip Tray When you are grilling multiple batches or cooking with excess oil, some of the food may remain on the surface of the grill or fall inside the drip tray. Make sure to wipe the surface of the grill and clean the drip tray often. CAUTION: Grill plate and drip tray will be hot. Let cool off before cleaning. |
|
|
Solution 4: Modify Food Preparation If you use marinades for your meats and vegetables prior to grilling, reduce the amount of oil you use to avoid burning and smoke. The grill surface is non-stick and does not require a lot of oil. |
|
|
Food keeps falling through the spaces between the grill bars. |
Solution 1: Cut Ingredients in Larger Pieces To prevent food from falling into the drip tray during cooking, do not place small pieces of food on the surface of the grill. If pieces fall through, turn off the grill and let it cool off. CAUTION: Grill plate and drip tray will be hot. Let cool off before cleaning. Lift the grill plate and remove the food pieces. |
