Thermostat Calibration

1.Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the griddle. Using a Surface Probe temperature measurement device, observe the temperatures at the center points of the cooking zones. These points are located by starting 6” from the side splash (left or right) and every 12” across the width of the griddle, with all points located 12” back from the front edge of the griddle plate.

Use of infrared thermometers is not recommended. These devices are highly sensitive to surface color (clean or dirty), angle of reading and distance from the unit.

2.Set thermostats to 350°F and allow to stabilize, allowing the indicator light to cycle ON and OFF at least two times.

3.Watch for indicator light to cycle OFF, then measure the temperature for that zone. The temperature should be 350°F ±15°F. If not, continue to Step 4.

a. Carefully loosen the knob set screw. DO NOT allow the knob to turn. Carefully remove the knob from the thermostat shaft, exposing the temperature dial.

b. Loosen screws on the temperature dial and adjust so that the temperature indicated by the knob arrow matches the griddle plate temperature reading. Knob will have to be placed back on the shaft to verify adjustment.

Never adjust the screw in the center of the thermostat shaft. This will ruin the factory calibration; the thermostat will no longer operate properly and will need to be replaced.

5.Once calibration is achieved, tighten the temperature dial screws and knob set screws.
