

1. Place in location where it will be used

allowing for clearances per the

dimensions indicated. Allow 2”

minimum clearance between

adjacent equipment and/or wall

areas.



2. Plug into proper 3 prong wall outlet.

If other appliances are connected to

the same circuit make sure the total

load does not exceed a maximum

ampacity of the circuit. Electrical

information is as follows:



3. Press the power button, the green

light above will illuminate when

powered on. The display flashes and

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

your right control settings. If you desire a

separate left timer you can manually adjust

the left side timer without affecting the right

timer.

Start Cycle

To start a clean cycle, push CLEAN button

once so the CLEAN LED light is turned on. All

preset LED’s are turned off, and the

temperature set point is changed to the clean

set point of 275°F. This also initiates the cool

down to clean set point condition as well the

display starts flashing until the clean set

point is reached.



Stop Cycle

To stop the clean cycle, simply press the

CLEAN button once to deactivate the clean

cycle. The CLEAN LED is turned off, the

preset LED’s are restored, the temperature

set point is changed to the main set point.

Again, the warm-up condition is initiated and

the display flashes until the cook set point is

reached.



Change Clean Temp

275°F is the factory default temp for the

CLEAN cycle. To change the CLEAN cycle



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.

Either platen is not

heating but the

digital controller is

on and appears to be

functioning.

If the mechanical relay(s) on the coil

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

relay is not working properly.



Replace the mechanical relay.

One of the three

heater platens not

close to set point.

The offset function in the controller's

setting needs to be adjusted to

achieve proper shade of toast.



Call (800) 624-6717 for

instructions.

----

One heating zone is

not reaching setpoint

and another heater is

overheating.

Sensors maybe crossed.

Make sure each sensor is

connected to its prospective

position on the terminal block

and back to the controller.



----

Setpoint is reached

but slightly off in

temperature.

Offset may need to be calibrated and

adjusted.

Call (800) 624-6717 for

instructions.

----

Heater platen is

overheating.

1. The mechanical Relay may be

stuck in the closed position (zone 1,

lower platen #1 labeled on this relay,

zone 2, left upper and zone 3, right

upper).



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

heater element validating the loss

off continuity at the source the

heater element.

Upper heater not

coming down parallel

to the lower platen.

Parallel lever not attached either in

tension.



The springs have lost some

tension.



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

tension is achieved, tighten all set

screws to prevent tension loss.
