Calibrating The Fryer 4
Calibration of 618-6
Temperature Indicator
To check calibration, use the
following steps.
1. Turn the dial of the thermostat to a medium
temperature setting of approximately 350° F.
2. Allow enough time for the temperature to
stabilize and the thermostat to cycle ON and
OFF.
3. Use a potentiometer or a good grade of
thermometer to determine temperature.
To Recalibrate:
1. Remove the ring (A) and glass crystal.
2. Insert a screwdriver in slot B, and while
holding the slotted stem in position, move the
temperature indicating needle (C) to the
correct setting with your finger.
3. Check the temperature of the frying area
again and check this against the indicator
temperature reading.
4. Re-install the ring (A) and glass crystal.
Calibrating the Thermostat
Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and
calibrated on precision instruments to control
temperatures accurately. Adjustment or
recalibration is not needed unless the thermostat
has been mishandled in transit or changed or
abused while in service.
To check calibration:
1. Important: Make sure that the fryer is filled
with shortening. Read the warnings on the
control panel about high temperatures.
2. Use a good thermometer that reads
temperatures up to 400°F/204°C. Place the
thermometer in the shortening.
3. Set the fryer temperature to 375°F/190°C.
Allow enough time for the temperature to
stabilize.
4. During a 10 minute test period, the
temperature should not fall below
365°F/185°C, or exceed 385°F/196°C.
To Recalibrate:
1. Remove temperature dial from shaft B by
pulling upward.
2. Using a small screwdriver, turn screw A as
follows:
• Counter clockwise to increase
temperature
• Clockwise to decrease temperature
3. Replace the control dial on the dial shaft
4. Recheck the calibration and continue
adjusting as necessary.
