when I pull the cord after cooking, it causes sparks! should this happen?

Definitely not! Contact the seller immediately and don't use this grill again. Mine hasn't done that.

This happens when you pull out the cord while the orange light is still on. Wait until the light cycles off again before unplugging the grill.

No, it should not. However, the problem is more likely with your receptacle than with the grill. Try another appliance and it will likely spark as well. Have an electrician look at all of your receptacles for proper wiring and grounding.

Be sure that the cord doesn't rest between the wall and the heater as it may get too hot (if using that plug for heater). The only other possible concern may be heat on the wiring within the wall or on the outlet itself, but I see no real hazard based on my experience with the heaters.

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

You need to clean it. There is something causing the two electrical parts to arc.

Whatever you do, do it carefully. Product does not withstand being used. Could be a fire hazard, if plugged in, be sure you can see it at all times.

Depends. If the wire is so hot that it is burning your hand then you have issues.If it does not burn your hand and is warm I would say this is normal. The box on the electric cord is designed to cut off the power if the cord gets too hot so no matter what you should be safe.If you have a house with old wiring this could also be a cause for extra heat in the wire.

The first time I used my pan on an induction cooker, I heard popping noises. The next time I tried to use it, the pan would no longer work on the induction cook top. I think the popping sounds was the ferrous layer breaking the bond with the rest of the pan.

I would guess it is an electronic problem. I would ask for a new one if relatively new, or it could be just a buildup of particles from cooking, etc.. Contact Kidde.

I had the same problem with my kitchenaid digital thermometer and found a break in the wire going to the probe. Seems like that could be a common problem since when the probe cord is wound up in it's holder, stress is placed on the wire leading to the probe.

To be honest, I don't think so. Have you tried burning the end of the cord with a match or flame. Or putting some finger nail polish on the cut end. This may help..... Thank you

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off"Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

The heated end is "submerged" - I fail to see how that would possibly constitute a fire hazard. As for the plug end - I wouldn't think it's any more a fire hazard than any other electrical item you have plugged into a socket.

If sparks hit the sail it could have little pin hole melted spots. Recommend don't BBQ directly under sail.

I have had my stove for over a year and a half, and have had no problems with the cord getting hot. I have bought this stove as a gift for a friend and he has had no problems, either. As the others say, I'd check your outlet .. try another electrical item in the same plug and see if it gets hot.

the manufacturer recommends that it is completely uncoiled before you use it. i suspect it is due to the heat a cord may create, but i am not sure.

Jack, I didn't notice that effect with the one I'm using, I would guess perhaps the problem migth be happening due to overheat the pan ! Since I bought it I took very serious the recomendation not to heat it too much and not too fast. Hope this help

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.
