Why does my contact grill feel loose or wobble on the worktop?

A grill that wobbles is usually standing on an uneven surface or on feet that are not fully in contact with the worktop. Because these appliances get hot during use, an unstable base can become a safety issue quickly. Stop using the grill immediately if it rocks strongly, slides, or if the cable is pulled tight across the surface.

1. Move the grill to a flat, firm, heat-resistant worktop.
   Expected result: the appliance should sit level without rocking.
2. Check that the non-slip feet are present and clean, and that no crumbs or packaging are trapped under them.
   Expected result: the grill should stand more securely.
3. Make sure the power cord is not pulling the grill sideways.
   Expected result: the appliance should stay centred when the cord is adjusted.
4. Close the lid gently and observe whether the floating lid or handle movement makes the grill shift.
   Expected result: normal lid movement should not move the whole appliance. fileciteturn0file8turn0file2

Stop using the product if a foot is missing, cracked or loose, or if the base appears warped. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.
