below 25° C are shown as 

- 2 5

; temperatures above 100° C are shown as 

+ 1 0 0

.

The temperature sensors are calibrated at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. The following procedure
calibrates the sensors if they give no or faulty readings. 

1. Allow the unit to cool to room temperature (powered off for at least 4 hours).

2. Measure the room temperature in Celsius. (To convert F° to C°, subtract 32° and then multiply by 0.555.)

3. Power up the unit and allow it to reset.

4. Press the [MENU] and [

5. Press the 

[↑
