Why does my contact grill stop working halfway through cooking?

If the grill stops part-way through cooking, the most likely causes are an unstable power supply, overheating protection, or a plug connection that has moved. Because the appliance handles mains electricity and high heat, stop using it if it cuts out repeatedly or the cable becomes hot. Do not try to bypass any safety function.

1. Turn the grill off, unplug it, and let it cool fully before testing again.
   Expected result: the appliance should restart only after it has cooled.
2. Check whether the wall socket, plug and cable are firmly connected.
   Expected result: the supply should remain stable during use.
3. Reduce the amount of food and avoid blocking the plates with a very thick filling.
   Expected result: the grill should maintain heat more easily. fileciteturn0file8turn0file2
4. If the grill stops again under normal loading, stop using it and let it remain unplugged.
   Expected result: it should not repeatedly shut down during a standard cooking cycle.

Stop using the product if it shuts off with a hot plug, burning smell, or visible damage to the cable, socket area or housing. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.
