THERMOSTATCALIBRATION
Millivoltthermostats
a. Set the thermostat dial to 325o F.
b. Remove the thermostat dial by pulling the knob straight out. DO NOT rotate the dial.
c. Hold the outside of the shaft so it does not move. Use the tip of a small, flat tip screw driver to scrape away
the sealing compound from the adjustment screw.
d. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the temperature setting and counterclockwise to raise the
temperature. One quarter turn changes the temperature approximately 25oF.
e. Turn the adjustment until the burners turn on at 325oF. Replace the knob and allow the fryer to cycle 4 to 6
times. Check the temperature of the thermometer against the thermostat dial. If it is greater than 5oF differ
ence, repeat the calibration procedure.
f. When the calibration is correct, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen.
