c. Let the fryer cycle 4 to 6 times to ensure that the temperature has stabilized. Compare the
thermometer temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5°F
apart, calibrate the thermostat using the appropriate calibration procedure.
1.5.6.1 Solid State Thermostats - Calibrating this thermostat is simply a matter of moving the
thermostat knob to the correct temperature and tightening the set screw.
a. Loosen the set screw that holds the thermostat knob to the its shaft.
b. Rotate the thermostat dial without moving the shaft to the temperature indicated on the
thermometer. Tighten the set screw on the thermostat dial to lock the dial in place.
c. Adjust the thermostat to a new setting and allow the fryer to cycle 4 to 6 times at the new
setting. Check the thermometer temperature against the dial setting. If the temperature
is ±5°F of the thermostat dial setting, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen.
If the temperature is greater than 5°F away from the dial setting, perform the above
procedure again.
1.5.6.2 Electric and GS Thermostats - To calibrate this thermostat the dial must be removed from
the shaft. The adjustment for the thermostat is inside the dial shaft.
a. Set the thermostat dial to 325°F.
b. Remove the thermometer dial by pulling the knob straight out. DO NOT rotate the dial.
c. Hold the outside of the shaft so it does not move. Use the tip of a small, flat tip screw driver
to scrape away the sealing compound from the adjustment screw.
d. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the temperature setting and counterclock-
wise to raise the temperature. One quarter turn changes the temperature approximately
25°F.
e. Turn the adjustment until the burners turn on at 325°F. Replace the knob and allow the
fryer to cycle 4 to 6 times. Check the temperature of the thermometer against the
thermostat dial, if it is greater than 5°F difference repeat the calibration procedure.
f. When the calibration is correct, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen.
