PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

•Breakfast sandwich maker wasn’t preheated until PREHEAT light was illuminated. Green PREHEAT light will come on in about 5 to 7 minutes indicating unit is heated to the correct temperature. Light will cycle on and off during cooking and does not indicate sandwiches are ready.

•Allow 2 minutes between making sandwiches for breakfast sandwich maker to heat to the correct temperature.

•Overfilled. Reduce amount of ingredients in your sandwiches.

•Unit needs to be preheated with the cover closed with rings and cooking plates in place.

•Make sure cooking plates are rotated securely to back of rings as far as they will go, to prevent leaking of eggs, and cover is closed when preheating.

•Extra large eggs, frozen, or very cold ingredients may lengthen cooking time. Add additional cooking time.

•Cooking time is about 5 minutes. Cooking time may vary if you are using small eggs, scrambled eggs, or egg whites. Reduce cooking time for future recipes.

•Use a plastic or wooden utensil to loosen any baked-on ingredients. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray before preheating for next use.

•Unit is overfilled. Only use large eggs and reduce amount or size of ingredients. Do not press down on the cover.

•Cooking plates may not have been in the correct position. Make sure cooking plates are rotated securely to back of rings as far as they will go to prevent leaking of egg.

•Used very thin purchased egg whites. Use fresh egg whites or try a different brand of egg whites.

•Make sure unit is properly preheated.

•The air whisked into large scrambled eggs may cause the cover to rise while the eggs are cooking. Do not press down on the cover.

•Higher fat contents and sugars may cause breads to darken. Cook eggs for several minutes without top bread and cover down. Also have ingredients ready to assemble so bottom bread does not cook a lot longer than top indgredients. Then add bread to finish cooking your sandwiches.
