OPERATING PROCEDURES
Delete Item
This key is used to delete the selected menu item. When
pressed, the screen displays YES or NO. Selecting YES
removes the item from the control memory.
TOP TEMP
This key displays the current set point temperature for
the platen. To increase or decrease the temperature, use
the up and down arrow keys.
Note: To scroll at a faster rate, press and hold the arrow
key.
BOTTOM TEMP
This key displays the current set point temperature for
the lower grill surface. To increase or decrease the
temperature, use the up and down arrow keys.
Note: When setting the temperatures for a given item,
the limits are 150°F to 450°F (66°C to 232°C) for the
upper platen and 150°F to 400°F (66°C to 204°C) for the
lower grill surface.
CLAM/FLAT
This key displays the current setting (CLAM or FLAT)
associated with that function. Pressing the key toggles
the mode to the opposite selection.
If a CLAM item is selected, the upper platen will lower to
6
the specified gap to allow two-sided cooking.
If a FLAT item is selected, the product is cooked on the
lower cook surface only. The upper platens remain in the
up position.
IMPORTANT! The upper platens remain at set
temperature in the FLAT mode. Avoid contact with the
upper platens and grill surfaces to avoid burn injuries.
Gap: This key is only active if CLAM has been selected.
The key displays the platen gap (in inches or millimeters)
associated with the FUNCTION. To increase or decrease
the gap setting, press and hold the up and down arrow
keys.
Note: The gap is designed to range from 0 in. to 1 in.
(0 mm to 2.54 mm). Operating the grill to cook products
thicker than 1 in. (2.54 mm) will not allow proper platen
operation.
6-6
Multiple Timing Functions: There are four timing
functions for clam and flat menu items. Each function has
a set of parameters associated with it. The functions
currently associated with the menu item are displayed.
Pressing function 1, function 2, or function 3 will bring up
the next function in the list. The functions provided are:
• REMOVE IN
• SEAR IN
• TURN IN
• SEAR/TURN IN
Multiple Gap Function—Link: Anytime a second or
third timing function is programmed into a menu item, the
Link function is automatically activated to YES. The Link
feature allows the platen to move up to the Home
position and then come back down to the next
predetermined gap and timing function.
Note: If the Link function is on YES, the platen arm stays
down and only the platen will move up and down. If the
Link function is on NO, the platen arm will rise to the up
position and then the Standby button will need to be
manually pressed to start a second or third timing
function.
In the example shown (See Figure 6-19.), the platen will
come down and sear the product for 30 seconds. After
that time has expired, with the link function set to YES,
the platen will move up to the Home position and then
come back down to the next set gap for another 30
seconds. Once that time has expired, with the link

function set to NO, the platen arm will raise all the way so
that the product can be turned.
