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

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.

CLAMSHELL GRILL CONTROLS  
Right Arrow Key  
This key operates only in the Cook and Program  
Modes. In the Cook Mode, with version 6.45, this  
key allows you to change menu items. The  
RIGHT ARROW key will scroll backward  
through menu items.  
Fan Interlock Switch  
This switch controls power to the grill and must  
be placed in the ON position to start 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.  
In the Program Mode various displayed  
parameters will be shown in numerical values.  
Each number, when displayed, will have a  
flashing digit. This is the cursor digit. The RIGHT  
ARROW key will move the cursor to the next  
digit. When the RIGHT ARROW key is used in  
conjunction with the UP ARROW key described  
above, any parameter value displayed in the  
Program Mode may be altered.  
Indicator Lights  
There are four indicator lights indicating the  
status of each zone on the grill: three on the  
lower (front to rear), and one on the upper platen  
(center). Each light can display three different  
colors, indicating the status for the  
corresponding zone.  
Program Mode Key (PROG)  
Red: The zone(s) is too hot, more than  
79_F/44_C over the set temperature.  
This key has two functions:  
Amber: The zone(s) is calling for heat.  
1. The primary function is to access  
Programming and Calibration of the grill.  
Push and hold for five seconds. The  
display will show the type and the version  
number. There are two programming  
features: MENU ITEMS and SYSTEM  
SETUP.  
Green: The zone(s) is at or above the set  
temperature.  
Display  
The controller display will contain information  
relevant to each operation in both the Cook and  
the Program Modes.  
2. The second function is used with the  
TEMP key. To display all temperature  
zones at the same time, press the TEMP  
key one time and the PROG key five  
times. This will display all four  
Up Arrow Key  
temperature zones.  
(example: T 325 B 300 C 310 F 312).  
This key has two functions:  
1. In the Cook Mode, when pressed, will  
display the Remove Time, Gap Settings,

Temperature for the menu item displayed.  
Each item will be displayed in the order as  
stated above. After five seconds, the  
display will return to the product menu  
item.  
This key has two functions:  
1. In the Cook Mode this key will allow you  
to change menu items (scrolls forward).  
2. In the Program Mode, pressing this key  
will change the value of the current cursor  
digit (see RIGHT ARROW key).  
2. In the Programming Mode this key is used  
to advance to the next program item.

PROBE” will flash alternately. An alarm will tone  
to warn the operator of this error.  
This key has two functions:  
The message “PROBE OPEN” will flash on the  
display when an open probe condition occurs.  
The controller will then deactivate the respective  
heater. If the open probe condition is eliminated,  
the controller will return to the OFF mode. The  
“PROBE OPEN” Error Message can be  
cancelled by pressing any key.  
1. In the Cook Mode, each time the key is  
pressed, the current temperature for that  
zone will be displayed. The displayed  
temperature begins at the lower front  
platen and works sequentially to the top  
each time you press the key. After five  
seconds the display will return to the  
menu item selected.  
During the startup procedure, the message  
“EEPROM CORRUPT” will be displayed on the  
LED if a new version of software has been  
loaded or if the controller detects a corrupt menu  
item. To acknowledge this condition and return  
to the OFF mode, press the PROG key.  
2. In the Program Mode, this key becomes  
the Function key allowing you to scroll  
through the functions in the MENU ITEMS  
section of programming. This key has no  
function in the SYSTEM SETUP portion of  
programming.  
If the heater or heater element is faulty, the  
message “LOWER HEATER FAILURE“ or  
“UPPER HEATER FAILURE” is displayed. This  
message also is displayed when there is a  
power supply deficiency.  
In the Probe Calibrate Mode, this key can  
be used to cycle through the temperature  
zones.  
If the controller does not detect an open latch  
switch within 2 to 4 seconds after an attempt to  
open the platen is made, the message “UPPER  
PLATEN STUCK” will appear. To cancel this  
alarm, the unit must be powered down, or the  
latch switch must be opened.  
Standby Button  
Press the STANDBY button once to lower the  
grill to the COOK position. Press this button  
twice to lower the platen into the STANDBY  
position. The controller will go into an idle state  
and the display will flash the message  
“STANDBY”, along with the menu item currently  
selected. For energy conservation and periods  
of nonuse, this will maintain grill temperatures.  
Press this button once to lower the platen into  
the COOK position. When the cook time has  
elapsed, the platen will automatically raise.  
If the latch switch does not close within 3 to 5  
seconds after the STANDBY button has been  
pressed, a “PLATEN NOT LATCHED” message  
will be displayed. The alarm can be cancelled by  
pressing any key on the control.  
After the control has detected this failure, and  
until the power switch is placed in the OFF  
position, only flat grill items can be cooked.  
Cancel/Raise Platen Button  
The message “HOME SWITCH STUCK ON” will  
be displayed when the platen is closed and the  
home switch is not opened. After the control has  
detected this failure, and until the power switch  
is placed in the OFF position, only flat grill items  
can be cooked.  
From the Standby Mode, pushing this button will  
cancel Standby and raise the platen. During the  
cooking cycle, pressing this button will cancel  
the cooking timer and return the grill to the  
Ready Mode.  
The message “HOME SWITCH NOT SEEN” is  
displayed when the platen is opened and the  
home switch is not closed. The alarm is  
cancelled by pressing any key on the control.  
After the control has detected this failure, and  
until the grill is powered down, only flat grill items  
will be allowed.  
Error Messages  
If a zone temperature falls below the set point,  
and the controller does not detect a temperature  
increase within 240 seconds, the messages  
“FAULTY ELEMENT OR” and “SHORTED

whether the item is TYPE FLAT or TYPE CLAM,  
is the same as described for the TURN function.  
After TURN is selected for a function (example:  
“FUNC 1 TURN”), the following screens will be  
in the programming sequence: (typical values

For an item selected as TYPE FLAT:  
After TURN is selected for a function,  
Note: If used with a CLAM TYPE item, the clam will  
open, the operator will manually turn and sear the  
product, press a button, the clam will close, and  
cooking will continue.  
(example: “FUNC 1 TURN”), a screen will  
appear in the programming sequence that is  
used to enter the time at which the TURN step  
will be prompted as the item is cooked. Look for  
“TURN IN XXX” for entering this time value.  
When the item is cooked, the screen will count  
down to the time at which the operator will  
manually TURN the item and cooking will  
continue until the REMOVE IN time has finished.  
REMOVE Function (Version 6.46)  
After REMOVE is selected for a function

from the grill (for a TYPE CLAM item).  
MUST REMOVE IN (0 to 99 seconds) is a timer  
that starts counting down from the set time at the  
end of a cooking process (when cooking timer  
goes to 0). It will sound an alarm for the last ten  
seconds of the set time and display “MUST
