Proluxe machines are relatively maintenance
free. For a long lifespan, the following
preventative maintenance should be
followed:

Daily Care:
1. Platens: Turn your machine off and allow
to cool down before attempting to clean.
These platens should only be cleaned with
mild soap and warm water then wiped off
with a clean, soft cloth or soft sponge.

2. Exterior surfaces: Wipe daily with mild
soap and warm water.

DO NOT use ice or cold water to cool the
unit down. This can cause platens to warp.

Service Problems:
Contact our factory at [phone] (U.S.
only) or approved service agency. When
contacting the factory for information, parts
or service instructions, please provide the
serial number of the machine be provided.
This number can be found on the serial plate
located on the rear of the machine.

Ref #
Power button on
digital controller face
is depressed but
doesn’t turn on.
1. Power cord is not plugged in.


2. Circuit breaker is tripped off in the
site's breaker box.


3. Transformer has taken an
electrical surge and is damaged.


4. Check voltage on the secondary
side of the Transformer. If you read
12VDC then you are receiving
voltage to the controller.

5. Possible blown fuse.
1. Plug the power cord into wall
receptacle and power button.

2. Reset circuit breaker that the
grill is plugged into. Depress
Power Button to turn on.

3. Replace Transformer after you
check secondary side of
transformer. If working properly,
you should receive 12vdc.

4. Replace controller. Controller
should be on once the power
button is depressed.

side are receiving 12vdc indicates the
controller is functioning properly. If
there is no voltage on the switching
side of the relay to the heaters, the


2. If you are receiving 12vdc on the
coil of the relay, the controller is
properly functioning.
Use an Ohm meter for a
continuity check must check at
the cold pins of the heater (where
the heater wire is brazed at
the cold pin. This will eliminate
any other failure before the

Remove rear panel and adjust the
retaining collars on shaft by
winding the spring tighter. There
are multiple set screws that need
to be loosened in order to wind
the spring tighter. Once proper
