why does manual mode only work
192197
I like how it cooks, however, it will always revert to manual mode. If I leave the cooking surface open it starts preheating. However, the moment I shut the top ... it clicks to manual. I purchased it over a year ago and had the problem off and on since day one. Frustrating.

Haven't use manual mode yet as I use only the other mode. I love it for cooking steak, hamburger and pork chops. Haven't tried other yet.

I just called TFal about the same problem. You need to recalibrate the unit! That is how: Plug it in but DO NOT turn it on. Press AND hold Hamburger - Fish - Manual buttons at the same time until Steak Button starts blinking. Make sure before your grill is COLD and NOT ON, just plugged in. Then open the lid put your palm in the middle of the plate and close the lid. Press the blinking Steak button. It will blink twice and stays steady. Put away your hand. Unplug and plug the grill again. Done! Recalibrated! In case I miss something just call TFal they'll help you. But I just went through the process and the machine is working like it should.

Return it for a new unit. Mine started to only do MANUAL mode, and I called T-Fal and they confirmed they've been getting calls about this. I had just got mine, so I returned it for another one.. so far, everything is working fine again. I suggest buying from Bed Bath and Beyond since they will allow you to return past 60 days if you keep your receipt. Hope this helps!

You need to take it back If that's the only mode that works , you got a lemon.

Read the instructions to make sure you are doing it properly. If after that it's only working in manual then you need to return it.

after you plug it in, hit on....then select what you are cooking, then hit ok....put food in....if you open it or turn it off after you start cooking it defaults to manual until it cools

If you put the food on the grill before it indicates it is ready to cook it will automatically switch to manual mode. I learned that the hard way. So the proper steps are: 1. Power on. 2. Select type of meat/sandwhich. 3. Press OK. (If you are grilling frozen meat select the frozen food option, which is the snowflake button). 4. Wait until it warms up which should be indicated by both the slow flashing doneness light on the right becoming steady and a beeping tone. 5. Put your food on the grill and close the lid. You will then see the Doneness light at the right turn blue. It will change color and alarm at each doneness stage. For example. When it gets to rare it will beep and the Doneness light will be yellow and progress all the way to red and well done to which it will give you a different alarm continuously until you press OK. Hope that helps.

It will work but in manual mode only, you will loose all auto funtions etc.

Just keep pressing the Mode key until it comes up. It's a bit finicky but it does work.

In Auto mode the Elph will do a fill flash when software determines it's needed. There are manual modes, but I haven't explored them because the software pretty much does all the composition work.

If it used to, but doesn't, its probably broken and does it matter if on or off? If it never has, it is probably set up wrong. For apple, download free E version of "The Missing Manual" for your OS version (10.7 on) and worm your way to how to set up buttons, you can get all 5 to work

Yes. I haven't played around with the manual settings as much, but you can adjust those functions.

No manual mode, but it has: 1. P mode - you can control the ISO 2. A (aperture) mode - you can manually control the ISO, and aperture 3. Shutter speed - you can kind of control it by using Sport mode under SCN BTW: The TG-2's aperture is a FAKE as the actual "aperture" is ALWAYS wide open, but using two ND filters ( you can search the google for more info on this topic).

Yes it will work for manual mode only. This particular adapter is for using Canon FD lenses. Your camera is a micro four thirds system and Fotodiox design adapters for this and many others.

Hi Joseph, the camera can be set to Program Auto, but no Manual Mode option. Thanks_Mitch

Yes that's the way mine works. And it can be days in between, if you had in on in manual and then some time later turn it to on, it's in auto mode. Hope that helps.

Yes. With the controller in the "off" position, manual mode defaults to 10 minutes. for whatever zone you chose. With the controller in the "auto run" position, you can run manually from zone 1 followed by the next zone until you stop. Each zone defaults to 30 minutes.

I have not had any issues with this selector switching during use in manual mode. It has been a very reliable piece of equipment.

I use manual because it was an easier install. I never set up the auto. It's not a bother at all.

sorry, I wouldn't know-the mode selection dial was broken when I got it-therefore it only works on auto (still)

It really does not work very well, I have to switch manually every time. Sometimes it might work but it depends on what type of devices you are connecting, because as long as I could realize, this works checking the voltage a device send to the unit and then it switch. If no voltage or all devices are sending a sending a voltage signal, it will no switch. That's the problem :/
