  If your OBH Nordica Grill switches to manual mode when starting a cooking cycle, it might be because you started cooking without preheating. You can either allow the cooking to continue, monitoring it in manual mode (white LED), or stop the appliance, remove the food, close it properly, reprogram, and wait for preheating to finish. If this continues, it may indicate an appliance failure, and you should contact your local Tefal Customer Service.

  If the indicator light on your OBH Nordica Grill stays purple after placing food, ensure you fully open the grill before placing the food and then close it completely. Also, the grill might not be sensing the food if it's too thin (less than 4mm). Press the button to confirm the start of cooking.

  If your OBH Nordica Grill stops during pre-heating or cooking, it could be because it was left open too long. Disconnect the appliance from the mains, wait 2-3 minutes, and restart the process. Ensure you briefly open and close the appliance during use for optimal results. If the issue persists, contact your local Tefal Customer Service.

  If you see a flashing white indicator light and the button is flashing on your OBH Nordica Grill, try disconnecting and reconnecting the appliance, then immediately restart a preheat cycle. This issue can also happen if the appliance is stored or used in a room that is too cold. If the problem persists, contact your Customer Service.

  If the indicator is flashing after placing food on the cooking plates of your OBH Nordica Grill, the grill might not be sensing the food, possibly because the meat is too thin. You must confirm the start of the cooking by pressing the button.
