TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: Inspection, testing and
DANGER: Use extreme care during
electrical circuit tests. Live circuitry may be
exposed.
repair of electrical equipment should be
performed only by qualified service
personnel.
The grill must be pulled away from the
wall for thorough cleaning. When returning
the grill to its original position, use extreme
caution to smoothly and slowly roll the grill
backward into place. Failure to do so may
cause the grill to tip, and will cause severe
equipment damage or personal injury.
The clamshell grill should be
disconnected from all electricity when
servicing, except when electrical tests are
required.
WARNING: Whenever the grill is to be
removed from beneath the hood for
servicing, the gas line must be disconnected
and the restraining device must be removed.
After service is complete, the gas line must
be re--connected before the grill is returned
to its original position beneath the hood and
the restraining device is replaced.

Too Cool Delay
When the temperature of a heating zone drops
39_F (22_C) below the setpoint, a timer will start.
If the timer expires before the temperature rises
above this level, a “TOO COOL” error message
will be displayed and cooking will be prohibited.
The timer will be reset when the temperature
rises above the 39_F (22_C) below the setpoint.
If the timer has been initiated by a previous cook
cycle and the temperature is still 39_F (22_C)
below the setpoint, another cook cycle of the
same menu item may be started as long as the
timer has not expired. Once the cooking cycle
for any product is initiated, the grill will go
through the cycle until the end.
CLAMSHELL GRILL CONTROLS
Fan Interlock Switch
Controls power to the grill and must be turned
“ON” to start the operation. The light will
illuminate when the switch is ON. The controller
will display “INITIALIZATION”. The display will
flash to “OFF”. This process is a self diagnostics
check.
Indicator Lights
If another product is selected and the
temperature is 39_F (22_C) below the setpoint
with the timer running, the timer will be reset.
The “TOO COOL” message will be displayed
and cooking will be prohibited until the
temperature rises above the 39_F (22_C) below
the setpoint.
There are three indicator lights indicating the
status of the grill: two on the lower (front to rear),
and one on the upper platen (center). On the
Model 35 gas clam, the lower center indicator
will remain green since there are only two heat
zones on the lower plate. In the event of an
ignition failure, the center light will flash red.
Each light can display three different colors,
indicating the status for the corresponding zone.
The timer will only be initiated on the lower plate
zones. If the upper platen temperatures drop
below the 39_F (22_C) below the setpoint, a
“TOO COOL” message will be displayed
immediately.
Red: The zone(s) is too hot, more than
79_F/44_C over the set temperature, or the
zone is displaying an error message.
The timer is adjustable from 0 to 999 seconds,
with a default of 300 seconds. If the timer is set
at 0, the lower plate will operate with no “TOO
COOL” timer as in the upper platen.
Amber: The zone(s) is calling for heat.
Green: The zone(s) is at or above the set
temperature.
