Place power switch in the OFF position, shut off power
at the fuse or breaker box. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock.
Whenever the thermostat
fails to maintain the selected
temperature within f 5 "F (- 15 "C) of the thermostat setting,
it should be calibrated.
To calibrate the thermostat, it is necessary to perform step
increases in the temperature
of shortening. Follow this
procedure:
1. Place the main power switch in the POWER position. Be
sure there is shortening in the frypot.
2. Set the thermostat knob to 250°F (121" C).
3. Allow enough time for the shortening to heat. When the
shortening reaches the set temperature on the thermostat,
the indicator light will go off. Usually, it will take no longer
than 15 minutes for the shortening to heat to the set
temperature.
4. Remove the fry basket from the shortening.
5. Stir the shortening with the basket handle.
6. Measure the temperature of the shortening using an
accurate, mercury tube type, deep fat thermometer
capable of measuring temperatures in the 250 "F to 400 "F
(121 "C to 204°C) range. (Henny Penny part number
12106.)
7. Insert the thermometer near the center of the frypot to
a depth of about 3 inches below the level of shortening.
8. Carefully stir the shortening with the thermometer.
9. Allow the mercury in the thermometer to rise to the
temperature of the shortening. Hold the thermometer
straight up and down.
The temperature reading is to be taken just as the
TEMP indicator light goes off. This will give the correct
temperature rather than an override temperature.
10. If the temperature
is within
5°F (- 15°C) of the
temperature set on the thermostat, increase the ther-
mostat setting approximately 25 "F (- 4°C). Wait until the
indicator light goes off, then again check the temperature
