Griddle Adjustments — SIT Thermostat (continued)
SIT Valve Calibration Instructions
These are
mandatory steps
for thermostat validation in the field. You MUST perform these steps before replacing.
They confirm if the SIT griddle control is working as per specification or is failing.
Note:
•
Griddle plate must be clear (without product).
•
Ensure your temperature meter is accurate (surface probe or magnetic T-couple only).
•
Calibration temperature = average of the flame ON and flame OFF/ temperature, (on+off )/2.

Check Manifold Pressure
4.5”W.C. Natural Gas; 10” W.C. Propane Gas

Inspect pilots and place
thermocouple on plate (as
shown figure 13)
Moisten the thermocouple with oil.

Take dial to Max. and back down to 350
0
F position on the dial
insert.
4
Start Up
Do not take temperature readings for the first 30 minutes if the
griddle was started from cold. Must be preheated and saturated.
5
Visual check
Pilot flame and ignition, burner flame.
Note
: Accepted Tolerance
Temperatures swing at 350

Monitor Temperature
Read and record consecutively the lowest and highest
temperature values for each control (approx. 15 minutes).
Temperature must be within 350
0
F ± 25
0
F.
The average of high and low values must be 350
0
F ± 10
0
F.
If not, go to step 7.

Additional Calibration if not
within accepted tolerance
(Figure 14).
Rotate the dial in small increments until within tolerance and
adjust dial following “Knob calibration instructions” . Knob
calibration can adjust set point by 30

F (± 15
0
F from midpoint
setting).

Set Dial at 400
0
F on all burners
and confirm calibration on
those corrected at step 7
Take dial to Max. and back down to 400

F position on the dial
insert. The average of high and low values must be 400

Replacement
Change the control if low and high values exceed swing of 50
