4.3.1 CLEAN AFTER INSTALLATION
It is recommended that you clean your XLR8
thoroughly before using it for the first time. To
clean the equipment teflon cooking surface, just
simply wash it down with a solution of mild soap
and water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water
and wipe dry with a clean towel.
4.3.2 PREHEATING
Press the ON/OFF and select the desired preset.
The upper platen should be approximately 40-
50°F hotter than the griddle surface to achieve
good caramelization on product.
The equipment will be preheated when the
selected set temperature is displayed and the
corresponding LED goes solid. Please use caution
as temperatures on and around the cooking
surface could cause severe burns.
4.3.3 ADJUSTING THE PLATEN GAP
HEIGHT
The XLR8 arm has gap adjustment every 1/32nd
of an inch. This gives you the control needed to
adjust to any product up to 2” thick. To adjust the
gap remove the adjustment arm in the front of
the Upper Heated Platen. Raise the arm and place
the desired product in the middle of the platen
coverage area. With the griddle and arm on and
preheated, lower the arm until you start to hear
a sizzle from the product. This means you are
applying slight pressure on the top of the product.
At this point, install the adjustment arm onto the
mounting plate. Place the lock bolt into the hole
that lines up with the mounting plate and tighten.
4.3.4 ALLOWING THE PLATEN TO FLOAT
The platen is shipped in its ‘locked’ setting, which
keeps the platen cooking surface horizontally level
and is designed for the cooking of level products
such as burgers.
Please use caution as temperatures
on and around the griddle cooking
surface could cause severe burns.
4.3 COOKING
If the product being cooked is uneven in
nature, such as chicken, the platen can be
unlocked, allowing it to float and enablish
the even cooking of uneven product.
To unlock the platen see section 3.8.2 in the
INSTALLATION chapter of this manual.
4.3.5 COOKING
If a recipe is provided for the product you
are preparing, always follow your company
guidelines for preparing product.
If adjusting your own recipe to incorporate
the use of the XLR8 it is recommended to
apply the following steps:
• Divide the total cook time applied to
a product cooking on just the griddle
surface by half. Adjust the time from
there until you are happy with the
finished product.
• Once you have the time and
temperature for the product identified,
use the programming instructions to set
the timer and presets accordingly.
• Adding more compression (smaller gap
between platen and griddle surface) will
decrease cook time but may result in a
dryer product.
4.3.6 CLEANING
• Power unit o and allow to cool until it is
safe to touch, approximately 30 minutes.
• Remove teflon sheetand clean using mild
soap and water solution and a towel.
• To clean the arm, once cooled, clean
using mild soap and water solution and a
towel. Rinse when done with clean water
and allow to dry overnight.
Do not Power Spray the griddle or XLR8
Upper Heated Platen. A non-Metallic
cleaning pad can be used to remove
large debris or built up areas.

SERVICE
1. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1. When power is connected to power line voltage is supplied to the three position
terminal block.
2. The white common lead from the terminal block is connected to the red “Y” harness
which one side supplies common to the power in J2-1 terminal of the circuit board.
The other side is daisy changed and connects to the common side of the heater
element harnesses.
3. The black wire from the terminal block supplies power to one side of the fuse.
4. The other side of the fuse is connected to a “Y” harness consisting of a black wire
connected to a high temp white wire.
5. Line voltage flows through the black wire of the “Y” harness and is connected to the
controller power in J2-2 terminal.
6. Line voltage is connected to the white high temp wire of the “Y” harness and connects
to position #1 (front) heater over temp thermostat.
7. Power flows through the front heater thermostat and to a white high temp wire which is
connected to position #2 (middle) heater over temp thermostat.
8. Power flows through the middle heater thermostat and to a white high temp wire which
is connected to position #3 (back) heater over temp thermostat.
9. Power flows through the back heater thermostat to a white high temp “Y” wire harness
which connects to the controller circuit board terminal J7-1 then daisy chained to J7-3
and to J7-5.
10. When the ON/OFF key is pressed to turn the unit ON, relays K1, K3 and K5 are turned
on allowing power to flow through to controller terminals J7-7, J7-4 and J7-6 then to
each heater.
11. Temperature sensing is done through three RTD sensors, front (#1) middle (#2) and
back (#3).
12. The front (#1) RTD is connected to the controller terminals J3-1 and J3-2.
13. The middle (#2) RTD is connected to the controller terminals J5-1 and J5-2.
14. The back (#3) RTD is connected to the controller terminals J4-1 and J4-2.
15. As the temperature rises and reaches the set point temperature the controller
disengages relays K1, K3 and K5 and begins to regulate temperature to the set point.
16. A timer start/stop circuit reed switch is connected to the controller terminals IN1-1 and
IN1-2.
17. When the arm is lowered a magnet engages the reed switch and closes the circuit to
the controller, starting the timer.
18. When the arm is raised beyond the magnet field the reed switch disengages and opens
the circuit to the controller, stopping the alarm or the timer if the timer is still running.
19. The timer can be disengaged from auto starting through the controller manager’s
mode.
20. Controller settings and options are covered in the operator’s manual.

2.2 TROUBLESHOOT GUIDE
AIncorrect voltage supplied
The unit is designed to work with 120V. Check that the original OEM plug is
still being used and there is no damage to the cord. Verify correct voltage at
receptacle.
BError code
If the display is showing Err, that is a sign the control board does not detect
a temperature sensor connection. Access the control board and inspect
the three RTD connections at J3, J4 & J5. If connections look good, test
resistance across the black and white wires for each RTD. Compare to the
table on page **
CUnit not calling for heat.
Check which preset has been selected on the digital control. There are three
LED lights on the control panel. Each corresponds to the call for heat to one
of three elements in the platen. When the unit is calling for heat, the lights
will flash. If the lights are steady, the control believes it has reached set point
and has stopped the call for heat.
If the lights are flashing, but the unit temp is not increasing:
1. Remove controller cover.
2. Disconnect the harness with a white and black wire that is attached to
the fuse.
3. Disconnect the black harness from terminal J2-2 and the white with
orange wire harness from terminal J7-1.
4. Ohm across the two white wires removed. If open then a lead wire
to the bimetal thermostats or a bimetal thermostat is opened. Let the
heaters cool then retest.
5. If still open, disassemble the heater box and test for the open bimetal
thermostat.
6. If closed then look for a broken connection or burnt wire in the red
harness. If the red harness and connections are good then replace the
controller.
If the lights are not flashing and unit temp does not increase:
1. Replace the controller. To have all three not flashing on warm up is not
a likely event. All three RTDs would have to be damaged to the set point
value which is highly unlikely.
DUnit not achieving set
temp
If the unit is heating but cycling at a lower/higher temp than set point:
1. Check unit presets are correct (see programming instructions on page 8).
2. When unit has reached cycle point, temp all three platen zones using a
direct contact thermometer with a small amount of cooking oil applied.
Verify if unit is reaching set temp within 10°F±.
3. If temp is not matching set point. Access unit control.
4. Remove white and black wires leading to one of three RTDs and take a
resistance reading across them. Compare to the table on page **.
5. If RTD reading matches current platen temp, replace control board.
6. If RTD reading is o of current platen temp, replace RTD. Continue to test
each RTD in turn.

MP5032-2104 XLR8 HEATED PLATEN 15

Timer does not activate
when Platen arm
depressed
1. Manually depress ‘Timer’ button on control. If timer starts, refer to section
4.2.1 to reprogram to automatically start the timer.
2. Access the control panel interior and disconnect the magnetic proximity
switch from the board. Set up a multimeter to test for resistance across
the two wires leading to the proximity switch.
3. Test if the proximity switch closes when the arm is lowered. If the switch
does not close, replace the switch.
4. If the switch does close and the timer cannot be activated manually,
replace the control board.

laying on the griddle surface.
9. Carefully move the insulation away from the element.
10. Use a 1/4” socket wrench to remove the 6 nuts holding the element in place and lift the
element out.
11. Lay the replacement cast element on a table with the smooth shiny side up. Wipe the surface
clean and apply 1.5 - 2.0 ounces of heat transfer compound to the smooth side of the casting
using a putty knife.
12. Use the putty knife to spread the thermal compound across the entire surface of the cast
element.
13. When the surface is covered, hold the fine tooth comb (included with the kit) vertical and
draw it along the length of the element in several passes to obtain an even, uniform thickness
coating across the entire surface. After each pass, remove excess compound with the putty
knife. When finished it should look like an even surface containing fine lines of the compound.
If the lines of compound do not cover, add additional compound in those areas and repeat.
14. Set the element in place on the platen with the heat transfer paste in contact with the platen
bottom. Refer to drawing DEV002214-1 in the parts section of manual for orientation
guidance. Try not to get paste on the studs when putting the element in place. Center the
holes in the casting on the studs.
15. Place the large fender washers over the center studs.
16. Place a spring washer over each stud. Spring washers are conical shapedwashers that flatten
out as the nuts are tightened against them. The springwashers should point up like a miniature
volcano.
17. Install new nuts on the studs and hand tighten. Use an inch pound torquewrench and tighten
each nut to 37 inch pounds starting in the center, working first to the sides and then to the end.
Tighten twice in this manner. Do not over-tighten the nuts.
18. Reinstall overtemp switch on new element following instructions in 3.3.
19. Reverse procedure from step 7 to complete repair.
20.Use permanent lock-tite on the #8-32 element cover screws when reinstalling.
