3. Troubleshooting Tips

  • General Reset: If an error persists after troubleshooting, unplug the waffle maker from the power source, wait for 30 seconds, and plug it back in. This resets the device, potentially clearing issues.
  • Overheating Prevention: To avert overheating, ensure that air vents are unobstructed. If the waffle maker overheats often (E01), perform a thorough inspection of airflow pathways and clean any blockages.
  • Temperature Issues: For E02 or E05, check for debris on the temperature sensor or heating plates. Gently clean with a damp cloth after disconnecting the appliance.
  • Stable Power Supply: Ensure that your waffle maker is receiving power from a stable outlet. Avoid using extension cords that might degrade the power stability, leading to E03.
  • Plate Connection: Should E04 appear, look carefully at the way the plates connect to the base of the waffle maker. Ensure all connections are secure and no food particles are causing issues.
