c.Let the fryer cycle 4 to 6 times to ensure that the temperature has stabilized. Compare the thermometer temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5°F apart, go to step d. If the values are within 5°F, the thermostat is operating correctly.
d.Loosen the set screw that holds the thermostat knob to its shaft.
e.Rotate the thermostat dial, without moving the shaft, to the temperature indicated on the thermometer. Tighten the set screw on the thermostat dial to lock the dial in place.
f.Adjust the thermostat to a new setting and allow the fryer to cycle 4 to 6 times at the new setting. Check the thermometer temperature against the dial setting. If the temperature is ±5°F of the thermostat dial setting, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen. If the temperature is greater than ±5°F away from the dial setting, perform the above procedure again.
