How to Find Set Temperature

To find the temperature of upper platens:

Press and hold the TEMP button and the

arrow up (↑) button at the same time.



To find the temperature of bottom platens:

Press and hold the TEMP button and the

arrow down (↓) button at the same time.



Adjusting the Set Temperature

1. Press and hold the TEMP button and

the arrow up (↑) button at the same

time for 15 seconds.



2. The current temperature with display

on the right digital display screen

only.



3. Using the up (↑) and down (↓) adjust

the temperature to your desired

setting.



4. Once your desired temperature is

set, push the TEMP button to return.



Adjusting the Set Time

1. Press the TEMP button first and then

select the desired timer button and

hold for 5 seconds.

2. The current temperature with display

on the right digital display screen

only.

3. Using the up (↑) and down (↓) adjust

the timer to your desired setting.

4. Once your desired temperature is

set, push the TEMP button to return.



Note: When adjusting the timer settings, the

right set of buttons control the left side.

Your left side timer will automatically set to



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 (800) 624-6717 (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.

Problem

Cause

Action

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.



5. Replace fuse.
