Tightly hold the thermostat shaft (A) and turn
the adjustment screw (B) in small increments to
shift temperature (1/4 turn is approximately
30°F.). To increase temperature, turn the screw
counter-clockwise, or to reduce temperature
turn screw clockwise.

 

Snap Action thermostat, See photo 6.

 

Electric thermostat, (E Series), use same
sequence as Snap Action thermostat. Electric
thermostat appliances 

DO NOT 

have a

temperature label once the knob has been
removed.

 

Check temperature after 15 minutes. Repeat
procedure until all zones are maintaining the
correct temperature.

3.2.2 

Matchless (ST) Series

 

Turn on all power switches.

 

Set knobs to the desired temperature.

 

Allow appliance to stabilize for 30 minutes (1
hour if cold).

 

Carefully remove knob cap (A), See Photo 7.

 

Hold knob firmly in place and 

loosen

 the 5/16”

retaining nut (A) with an appropriate socket or
nutdriver (B), See Photo 8.

NOTE: 

Do not remove the knob.

 

Once the retaining nut is loose, pull straight
out on the knob to insure that the knob can
move freely on the shaft.

 

Align the white indicator line with the average
temperature of the corresponding cooking
zone.

 

Hold knob firmly on shaft, while retightening
the retaining nut (A), 

do not allow knob or shaft

to move or temperature setting will not be
accurate

.

 

Replace knob cap as seen in Photo 7, the
white indicator lines on the cap and knob
should line up with each other.

Component Check & Replacement

With the exception of calibration, appliance control
checks or replacement 

May

 require removal of the

control cover front panels. The front panels are
removed as follows:

4.1 

DISASSEMBLY OF FRONT PANELS

4.1.1 

Snap Action Series

 

Remove all thermostat knobs by loosening the
shaft retaining (set) screws (A), located in the
bottom of the knob, See Photo 9.

 

Remove all #10 self threading screws (B),
holding the upper control panel (C) in place.

 

Lower door panel(D) rotates down to allow
access to gas train components.

 

Slowly pull front panel away from front of
appliance and place in a safe location. Be
careful not damage the Piezo ignition wire as it
will still be attached at this step.
