300°F.
3.
Allow the thermostat to cycle three times.
4.
Note the tester reading when the indicator light
turns ON and OFF.
NOTE:
If the difference between the ON and OFF
temperatures is greater than 25°F, replace the
thermostat.
5.
Add these two temperatures together, then
divide the sum by 2 to obtain an average
temperature.
A.
If the average temperature is within 10°F of
the set temperature, the thermostat is
calibrated.
B.
If the average temperature is not within
10°F of the set temperature:
1)
Remove thermostat knob.
2)
Insert a flathead screwdriver into
thermostat dial stem until it reaches
the calibration screw.
3)
Turn adjustment screw CW to
increase and CCW to decrease
temperature.
NOTE:
A 1/4 turn equals 35°F change.
6.
Replace knob and repeat steps 3 and 5 until
average temperature is within 10°F of set
temperature.
7.
Reseal adjustment screw to prevent movement.
8.
