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).

Temperature for the menu item displayed.
Each item will be displayed in the order as
stated above. After five seconds, the

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 start−up 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 non−use, 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
