My grilling rack is so tilted that I have problems with the food sliding off and into the floor. Did I put it together wrong?

I thought the same thing. You have to make sure the rack is in the right holes.

Sounds like you need to adjust something, mine stays flat unless you turn the knob to rotisserie

I had no problem with food sliding off the grill. I don't know how you could have put it together so food would slide off.

I actually bought this grill as a gift for my daughter and she hasn't had any problems. Maybe something isn't quite tight enough? Sorry I can't be of more help. Meco may be able to help you if you contact them directly. Good Luck.

Mine works just fine and I have not had this problem. You know that you can tilt the rack, so maybe you have it tilted too much. This is my second Meco elec. grill and I have had not experienced any problem. I would double check the installation of the grill rack into the arm.

I had the same problem because the metal disk on the right side of the grilling rack. It has little bumps on it that are supposed to fit into matching indentations in the side of the grill itself. There is a spot to hold it flat, and another spot to hold it slightly tilted. On mine, the metal disc was bent so the bumps didn't fully engage the indents. I tried to straighten it out myself, but couldn't. Contacted MECO, and after seeing pictures & my description of the problem sent me a whole new handle/heating element/grill rack piece. Once I replaced it, everything worked as it should. Of course there is also the possibility you installed it in the wrong hole on the left side of the grill, and it won't work. Apparently this is very common, since their customer service was pretty sure that was the problem until I sent them pictures showing it was installed correctly.

I have not had this problem, so all I can think of is that yours is not put together properly. Wish I could help more.

I have this problem but I'm afraid I haven't used the grater as of yet. As far as the other pieces go I have had no issues with it moving while in use.

It works best for me inside the rack, with the handles on the inside of the rails on the sides. I had the same reservations, but it works pretty well.

Try putting something under it that won't slide backwards if you have hardwood floors or tile hope that helps

Mine works fine, but I did need to adjust the screws that tighten and loosen the mechanism that slides on the vertical rails. I have no issues with racking the bar or with play and tilting.

Mine does not sit flat anymore either but I just figured it was from me dropping it! Though, I have never had a problem cooking it it even though it tilts.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

I don't have this problem, but it may be that you need to put something like a sheet of rubber between the base of the rack and your bumper, if you have a metal to metal contact issue. You need something that will greatly increase the friction between the two.

You might have the tray on the wrong way. Try and turn it around. I had the same problem.

There is a spring loaded pin to pull up at the base of the rack. This allows the rack to tilt down. The pin stays in place so the rack just clicks back in when raised.

I didn't have any issues. I think everything just slided together. The cup piece might need some force to snap in. I love this drying rack, it's strong and it looks cute too!

The upper part of the rails slide off - you have to push the buttons on the side of the rails - like you will to adjust the height after you have put it together. It is unfortunate there are no instructions with the rack. Hope it helps!

My guess is that is has to do with this not being a fine piece of furniture. And your assembly technique. Loosen the screws that hold the shelves, as well as the bracing. When things are still together, but you can move them around a little, put it where it needs to go. Like the kitchen. Now that it is on your level, or maybe not, surface, tighten everything back together. This should, in theory, adjust for your maybe not level floor, or the minor differences in length of the wood. I know my floor is really bad, and this helped.

I put the bottom part on the lower rack (it's too tall for my upper rack) and the lid on the upper. I've never had a problem! And I DO use heat to dry. Maybe I'm just lucky...?

I'm sry you're having a problem but I don't think I can help you for I didn't have an issue. My lids of allsizes/shapes fit well. Perhaps your lids are thicker than most? Maybe you can manipulate the rack but if you do that, you may void your return if you need to do that. Again, sry I couldn't be of more help.

My back stovetop is not flat and therefore would not work this way. If yours will fit be sure to secure it to prevent sliding. Also I just wanted the bottles, but I'm glad bc I didn't think the rack was super sturdy-it's a little wobbly.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.
