4.3.4 SURFACE TEMPERATURES
The digital temperature control and temperature
sensor are more accurate than any other device
to measure the cooking surface temperature
in this appliance. Any other digital device may
show a difference. The important use of the
external temperature measuring device is to
ascertain that the temperatures are within
±5°F across the entire cooking surface of the
appliance.
Due to the construction material of the cooking
surface an infrared temperature probe can't be
used.
The proper measurement tools to use is a
calibrated weighted temperature probe and
digital temperature meter set (Fig 4.G).
A number of factors can cause surface
temperature reading differences such as:
• Air movement across the appliance cooking
surface can lower the temperature reading as
much as 10° F from the set temperature.
• Proper calibration of the temperature
measuring device.
• How long after the heat light turned off
before temperature measurement was
completed.
Assure the cooking surface is clean
before measuring the surface temp. See
section 4.4 for information on cleaning.
Do not use an infrared or a
mechanical temperature gauge to
measure the surface temperature of the
appliance as it will not be accurate and
will provide a false temperature reading
of the cooking surface temperature. See
Fig 4.G for proper surface temperature
measuring tools.
