  • Verifieer dat die kragaansluiting funksioneel is deur 'n ander toestel in te prop.
• Hot Plate Cycles On and Off:
  • This is normal operation. The hot plate is designed to cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. This prevents overheating and ensures consistent heat.
  • If you notice it cutting off too frequently at lower settings before liquids boil, try increasing the temperature to Level 4 or 5 for faster results.
• Aanvanklike reuk/rook:
  • A slight odor or minimal smoke during the first few uses is normal due to protective coatings burning off. Follow the "Initial Use Odor" instructions in the Safety section.
  • If the odor persists or is strong after initial burn-off, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Stadige verhitting:
  • Ensure the temperature control is set to a higher level (e.g., Level 4 or 5) for quicker heating.
