1.4 Calibrating the Operating Thermostat
1. Ensure the frypot is filled to the proper level with oil before proceeding.
2. Light the pilot.
3. Set the temperature control knob to 350°F (177°C).
4. Let the burners cycle on and off automatically three times in order for the oil temperature to
become uniform. If using solid shortening, stir to get all shortening in the bottom of the frypot
melted.
5. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil, with the end near the fryer
temperature-sensing bulb.
NOTE: The temperature-sensing probe is mounted on the frypot tube.
6. When the burner starts for the fourth time, the thermometer/pyrometer reading should be within
the range 335-360°F (168-182°C). If not, calibrate as follows:
a. Remove the thermostat knob by pulling straight out on the knob with a firm, steady pull.
The temperature adjusting screw is located in the middle of the thermostat shaft.
b. Insert a small-bladed flat-tipped screwdriver into the adjusting screw. Turn the adjusting
screw in ¼-turn increments to adjust the temperature. Turning the screw clockwise
decreases the temperature; turning it counter-clockwise increases the temperature. DO NOT
allow the thermostat shaft to turn while turning the adjusting screw.
c. Recheck the thermometer/pyrometer reading the next time the burner comes on.
d. Repeat steps 4.b through 4.c until the thermometer/pyrometer reading remains within the
range 335-360°F (168-182°C) through several cycles. If the thermostat cannot be calibrated,
call a Factory Authorized Service Center for service.
e. Reinstall the thermostat knob.
