1. Insert a good grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the cooking oil/shortening near the fryer
temperature-sensing probe.
2. Turn thermostat knob to frying temperature.
3. Let elements cycle on and off automatically three times to allow the cooking oil temperature to be
uniform.
4. When the elements start for the fourth time, the pyrometer reading should be within 5°F (2°C) of
the thermostat knob setting. If it is not, calibrate as follows:
a. Loosen set screw in thermostat control knob until outer shell of knob will rotate on insert inside
knob.
b. Rotate outer shell of knob until index line on knob aligns with marking that corresponds to
thermometer or pyrometer reading.
