MKG SERIES GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION & OPERATION

3.THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION SECTION:

Each control typically operates a pair of burners with a Snap action, Electric or Solid State. The controls were set at the factory. However, if the griddle’s surface temperature varies greatly from the setting on the thermostat knob, adjust the thermostat using the following procedure:

3.1.CALIBRATION PROCEDURES:

3.1.1. Snap Action and Electric Thermostats:

A.Light pilots per lighting

instructions.

B. Turn all the control knobs to the desired temperature setting.

C.Wait 30 minutes (or 1 hour if

griddle was cold) for surface to stabilize.

D.Place a reliable Griddle surface

thermometer, or test instrument thermocouple, (able to register 300°F), in the location above the thermostat being calibrated as described in section 2.3.2. Check the temperature every 5 minutes until the temperature stabilizes and does not change by more than 30°F over a 15 minute time period.

NOTICE:

The adjustment screw in the thermostat is sealed at the factory to protect the calibration, it may be

necessary to remove this seal to be able to adjust the thermostat.

E.If the average temperature over any burner set is not within +/-15°F of the knob setting (300°F), adjust the corresponding thermostat. This is done by removing the knob, holding the thermostat knob stem, see picture this section, (do not allow the stem to turn or the temperature setting will not be accurate), then turn the adjustment screw located within the center of the stem in small increments. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the temperature, and clockwise to decrease the temperature.

F.Check the temperature after 15 minutes and repeat adjustment as needed until the correct temperature is indication on the measuring instrument.

D.Place a reliable Grill surface thermometer, or test instrument thermocouple, (able to register 300°F), In the location above the thermostat being calibrated described in the Surface Temperature Check section above. Check the temperature every 5 minutes until the temperature stabilizes and does not change by more than 30°F over a 15 minute time period. You will need to remember the average temperature for the next step.

E.Carefully remove the cap on the thermostat knob with the white indicator line see picture this section. While holding the knob, loosen the 5/16" nut on the thermostat shaft, (DO NOT REMOVE), once the nut is loose the knob can be rotated so that the cap line marker is aligned with the actual temperature that the Grill surface thermometer is indicating.

F.Re-tighten the 5/16" nut while holding the knob in position, (do not allow the stem to turn or the temperature setting will not be accurate). Replace cap.
