why it does not stay on high continually

I suspect what you are seeing and asking about is that if you turn the burners on high and just watch them, they glow red quickly but then seem to turn off and on instead of staying bright red and this is different than you are used to on the old-fashioned type of burner. Stoves are automatic systems that turn the electric current on and off as needed to keep the burner at a desired temperature. They don't adjust the amount of electricity applied to the burner...they turn on the power full-blast or completely off. A sensor monitors the temperature and turns the power on if it is too low or turns it off if it is too high. The radiant cook top is a special kind of element that can get VERY hot VERY fast (much faster than the old kind). The temperature sensor is near the element below the glass and the element gets hotter than the hottest setting quickly and turns of the power even though the pot of food above the glass is still not super hot. So you will see the burner get red then go off several times before your food finishes cooking. This is normal. Even though it seems like it would get hot faster if it just stayed on continuously, that would actually be bad because the element would overheat and burn out. Old style burners do the same thing, but you don't notice it as much because they take longer to cool down and stop glowing red so it seems like they are always on when you set them to high (but they aren't). The same thing that makes them stay red longer, also makes them take longer to get hot so if the new element was made to be a lot slower to heat up, it would seem to stay red and it would work like the old kind (but it would take longer to cook your food).

Probably a better question for the manufacturer, but I believe it's because the lower priced unit is not designed for continuous operation. Presumably the motor has to cool off.

you need to play around with the setting dial and buttons on the front. if it's set too light or a different type, it might not stay down

I found that you really have to crank down hard on the stand to get it to stay where you want it. Once you get it there it usually stays there.

The float raises a rod that makes a switch on the top cover when the water level is high enough. The Float moves up but only slightly. Sometimes it can get misaligned and not work properly. If you have filled it with water and it doesn't run push down on the top cover on the right side. If the unit comes on then the rod is not moving up and down properly. For those of you whose units do not shut off when empty also check the alignment of the rod and make sure it moves freely.

It stays on until the batteries run out. Kind of an expensive decoration and alot of batteries. You might want to look at one you could plug in a wall or something

the landing gear is raised by Design but I don't know why. I know the fix for it is to adjust your settings. the little screws next to the white things turn those up and down it changes the tilt of the bleedingive you a smoker left of me a few days a week na to get right

Nope. It doesn't need to - on high, it gets all the air in the room circulating with enough breeze to fly a kite.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

Hi.. I noticed that too but.. mine just stays up until I push it back down.

Probably because it sits too high and theres no auto shutoff. I have it and was thinking about using as a turkey fryer. I decided to just buy one and Im glad I did. The turkey fryer sits lower, has an auto shutoff, and has a wind shield.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

My guess is that the material is not sticking to the platform. Try preheating it.

I have the same issue, it takes a little bit of finessing and turning to get it to sit level. It works really well.

I guess I never stood on it that long. It seems to stay on quite a while but I assume eventually it would turn off.

I haven't had a problem with it staying up, but it is not a formal 'click' recline system, it is a tension clip thing (I'm probably not describing that well). So I can see how if it is misused or over-used over time that it may break (such as a display model in a store). So far so good on mine, but I've only had it about four months.

Make sure it's plugged in and has full power (try another plug maybe?). I tried once pushing it down before it was plugged in and it wouldn't stay down. If you're sure it has power then it's defective.
