  If the indicator light on your OBH Nordica Grill remains purple and cooking doesn't start after preheating, there might be a few reasons: * The food quantity exceeds 4 cm. Ensure the food is not thicker than this. * The grill wasn't fully opened when you put the food in. Open it completely and close it again. * The appliance might not detect the food if there's not enough of it, and the 'OK' button is blinking. Press the button to confirm cooking activation.

Why does my OBH Nordica OptiGrill + stop during pre-heating or cooking?

  Lisa RamosAug 13, 2025
  Your OBH Nordica Grill might stop during pre-heating or cooking because it was left open too long while cooking, or it remained idle for an extended period after warming up. To fix this, disconnect the grill from the outlet for 2-3 minutes and then restart the process. Next time, quickly open and close the appliance for optimal cooking. If the issue continues, contact your local Tefal customer service.

  Christian CruzAug 20, 2025
  If your OBH Nordica Grill activates in manual mode with a blinking red light, it means the preheating time was cut short. You can either monitor the cooking periodically in manual mode, or stop the grill, remove the food, close it, select the desired cooking program, and wait for the preheating cycle to finish.
