Uneven Heating

Food being prepared is cooking unevenly due to temperature differences of the heating surfaces.

Warped Plates

You must ensure that the cooking plates are making contact with the heating coils. If they are not there could be two reasons: (1) It may be that the cooking surfaces are not properly secured and they may have moved during use. This will be an easy fix. Just remove the surfaces and reattach them correctly; make sure that the heating plates are secured by a metal clip on either side of the device. (2) If the problem persists, check that the heating plates are not visibly warped; if so, they must be replaced. Refer to repair guide on the device page to ensure proper replacement.

Heating Coil Deformation

If plates are making contact with coils and the plates are not visibly warped, heating coils will need to be replaced. Refer to repair guide on the device page.

Pieces Fell Off/ Broke

Certain pieces have broken and are no longer attached to the correct spots on the griddler.

Re-Attachable Pieces

Check that the pieces are re-attachable. If it was one or both of the cooking surfaces that fell off see if it was just a case of them not being secured properly. If not, refer to repair guide on the device page.
