How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off gas and allow the griddle to cool completely before servicing.
- Clean griddle surface: Remove heavy carbon buildup per Wolf's cleaning instructions. Excess buildup can affect heat transfer.
- Inspect burner: Remove the griddle plate (if serviceable) to access the burner. Clean burner ports and ensure the diffuser plate is correctly positioned.
- Check for warping: Place a straightedge across the griddle surface. If significantly warped, the plate may need replacement.
