THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION CHECK
The calibration of this thermostat should not be changed until considerable experience with cooking
results has definitely proved that the thermostat is not maintaining the proper temperature. The
recalibration should not be made until the bypass (minimum burner) flame has been properly
adjusted.
If re-calibration becomes necessary, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Place the thermocouple of test instrument or thermometer in the middle of the oven.
2. Light the main burner.
3. Turn dial to between the ―180‖ and the ―200‖ position (190).
4. Allow the oven to heat until the flames cut down to bypass. After sufficient time, check
temperature. If the temperature does not read within 10 degrees of the dial setting, recalibrate
as follows:
A. Pull dial straight off without turning.
B. Hold calibration plate and loosen the two calibration lock screws until the plate can be
moved independently of the control.
C. Turn calibration plate so that the instrument or thermometer reading is in line with the
indi cator mark. Hold plate and tighten screws firmly. Turn the calibration plate counter
clockwise if the test reading is higher than the dial setting. Replace dial.
NOTE: If the above adjustment is prevented by the two loosened calibration lock screws `
being in contact with the ends of the screw clearance slots in the calibration plate,
remove the screws and after turning the calibration plate to the proper location,
reassemble screws in the other tapped holes designed for them.
OVEN
A. Light pilot in accordance with the User’s Instructions.
B. Check that the length of the pilot flame is correct per table C.
All pilot flames should envelop the tip of the thermocouple. The pilot flame can be viewed through
the opening in the front of the burner compartment panel.
Replace the burner access panel.
Hand the User’s Instructions to the user or purchaser for retention and instruct them in the efficient
and safe operation of the appliance.
Tell the user of the location of the gas isolation cock for use in an emergency.
Leave this Installation and Operation Instruction Manual with the user or purchaser.
