Calibration of 618-6
Temperature Indicator
To check calibration, use the following steps.
1.Turn the dial of the thermostat to a medium temperature setting of approximately 350° F.
2.Allow enough time for the temperature to stabilize and the thermostat to cycle ON and OFF.
3.Use a potentiometer or a good grade of thermometer to determine temperature.
To Recalibrate:
1.Remove the ring (A) and glass crystal.
2.Insert a screwdriver in slot B, and while holding the slotted stem in position, move the temperature indicating needle (C) to the correct setting with your finger.
3.Check the temperature of the frying area again and check this against the indicator temperature reading.

Calibrating the Thermostat
Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and calibrated on precision instruments to control temperatures accurately. Adjustment or recalibration is not needed unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit or changed or abused while in service.
To check calibration:
1.Important: Make sure that the fryer is filled with shortening. Read the warnings on the control panel about high temperatures.
2.Use a good thermometer that reads temperatures up to 400°F/204°C. Place the thermometer in the shortening.
3.Set the fryer temperature to 375°F/190°C. Allow enough time for the temperature to stabilize.
4.During a 10 minute test period, the temperature should not fall below
365°F/185°C, or exceed 385°F/196°C.
To Recalibrate:
1.Remove temperature dial from shaft B by pulling upward.
2.Using a small screwdriver, turn screw A as follows:
•Counter clockwise to increase temperature
•Clockwise to decrease temperature
3.Replace the control dial on the dial shaft
4.Recheck the calibration and continue adjusting as necessary.
