I just witnessed my AE doing an auto clean, and the floor slid across but the clinker stayed stuck to the sides of the pot. I am burning Hamers. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and how do you remedy it? Thanks

I used Hamers last season and seemed to have lots of clinkers. Can't you just shutdown the unit and clean as you if you did your weekly cleaning as instructed by Quad ... scrape with the tool they provide...
I do a real good weekly cleaning, but this happens when it shuts down to autoclean, which happens every 2-3 hours. My stove runs all day and I am not home to clean it everytime it shuts down. I was wondering if maybe anybody had this problem and sprayed the pot with something to prevent it.Daves said:

What heat output level are you running at? If you are in manual mode, try turning it down a notch and see if that helps.
I have never had any big clinkers stick long term. Eventually they seem to fall off. But, I've also never tried Hamers. ;-)

The funny thing is I was running manual medium for quite a while and all was well. Last night I switched to auto so it would run longer and that is when it started, it was running mostly medium low to low.Gweeper64 said:
