return to [`idle].
Preheat
If the [Ready] parameter under the [SetUp] function in the Configuration mode is set
to [``yes], the controller will detect temperatures and preheat to operating tempera-
ture (above set point minus the ready band).
Note: The controller will not respond if Time1 is set to 0.
•
If the griddle is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile:
The word [Pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments.
The Start/Stop key indicator light will flash slowly.
The temperature of Channel 1 will be displayed until the operating temperature for
both channels is reached.
The heat output indicator lights (G & H, just below the display) will light up when-
ever the controller is calling for heat.
When both channels are at operating temperature (set points minus the ready band)
[ready] will appear on the display and the Start/Stop key indicator light will flash
rapidly. You are now ready to cook with the active menu.
•
If the griddle is at operating temperature, the display goes directly to [Ready]
without indicating preheat or temperature.
Run a Menu (with preheat feature)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is active
(when the [Ready] parameter in the [SetUp] function of the Configuration Mode is set
to [``yes]).

If the preheat condition (temperatures >= set points minus the ready band) has not
been met, the griddle will preheat until [ready] appears on the display.
