CALIBRATION
Checking the Grill Thermometer:
1. Fill a meat pan with two inches of water and place it on the chili stove.
2. Place a half-size pan into the meat pan to float in the water. CAUTION HOT
3. Allow the water to come to a boil.
4. Place the thermometer in the half-size pan for five minutes.
5. The thermometer should read 212°F. at sea level. Subtract 1.8°F. for every 1000 feet above sea
level.
6. Adjust the thermometer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Calibrating the Grill:
1. Set the grill at the proper setting and allow to heat for at least one hour.
2. Place the grill thermometer directly over the sensing bulbs. (See “Sensing Locations”diagram on
following page). Measure off the grill according to the diagram. Use only these locations for
calibration points.
3. Make a note of the high temperature (when element light turns off) and the low temperature (when
the element light turns on). You can use the work sheet to write down the readings. Get a high and a
low reading for each of the sensing locations.
4. Add the high and low temperatures together for each sensing location and divide by two to get an
average.
5. If the difference between the high and low reading for any of the sensing locations exceeds 30°F.,
call a technician.
6. If the average temperature of a sensing location is within 10°F. of the proper temperature, no
adjustment is needed for that thermostat.
To Adjust a Thermostat:
1. Pull off the knob.
2. Use a small screwdriver to turn the set screw clockwise to decrease temperature, counterclockwise
to increase temperature. A quarter turn is equal to about 18°F. You may have to hold the shaft to
prevent it from turning while adjusting the set screw.
3. Check the high and low temperatures again. Adjust the set screw again if necessary.
4. When finished adjusting the set screw, put a drop of nail polish or appliance paint on the screw head
to keep it from turning.
5. Replace the knob.
6. For grills installed after 1979, there are calibration plates between the control panel and the
adjustment knobs. To adjust these thermostats:
A. Loosen the three screws that hold the calibration plate.
B. Hold the temperature adjustment knob and turn the calibration plate so the indicator arrow
lines up with the average temperature for that section of the grill.
C. Tighten the screws.
