thermostat knob stem, see picture above, (
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.
5.
Check the temperature after 15 minutes and repeat adjustment as needed until the correct
temperature is indication on the measuring instrument.
NOTICE
The adjustment screw on the thermostat is sealed by the Manufacturer to protect the calibration. It
may be necessary to remove this seal to be able to adjust the thermostat.
3.1.2. Solid State Thermostat
1.
Turn all the control knobs to the
desired temperature setting.
2.
Wait 30 minutes (or 1 hour if griddle
was cold) for surface to stabilize.
3.
Place a reliable Grill surface
thermometer,
or test instrument
thermocouple, (able to register
300°F (149°C)), In the location
above the thermostat being
calibrated described in section 2.2.2.
Check the temperature every 5
minutes until the temperature
stabilizes and does not change by
more than 30°F (17°C) over a 15 minute time period. You will need to remember the average
temperature for the next step.
4.
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.
5.
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.
4. Basic Operation
4.1. Operational Helpful Hints
1. Each thermostat controls 12" (30.5cm) of griddle surface, whenever possible, use the leftmost or
rightmost thermostats for the lowest cooking temperatures. The adjacent thermostats set at higher
temperatures will effect centrally located thermostats.
2. For quicker thermostat response during heavy loading of the griddle, load product directly over the
thermostat sensing probe. For slower periods of use, load product to one side of the sensing probe to
limit possible overheating of unused griddle surface.
3. Whenever possible, rotate the location of where product is cooked, this will keep the entire 12"
(30.5cm) of the controlled area at a more even temperature.
4. If any product sticking occurs, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface before loading product.
5. When using spatulas or scrapers, it is
Highly Recommended
that the corners of the tools never strike
the griddle surface with any force. This could cause damage to the surface that could collect food
particles, and make it difficult to clean.
