NORMAL OPERATION
FOR UNITS WITH THERMOSTATIC CONTROLS
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
 
If additional heat range is required in the cabinet, unplug 
the heating unit, remove the thermostat knob, insert a small 
straight blade screwdriver into opening in center and turn 
limit control set screw counter-clockwise one full turn. See 
diagram on left. 
 
Replace thermostat knob and turn clockwise to reach new 
maximum temperature. Repeat this until desired tempera-
ture is reached. Each 1/4 turn of the calibration set screw 
will raise the element heating capacity by approximately 25-
35ºF. 
 
If a reduction of heat is desired, turn limit screw clockwise 
one full turn. Hold the door open allowing unit to cool until 
inside temperature is below the desired temperature. 
Close the door and allow unit to rise to a new maximum 
temperature. Repeat this until desired temperature is 
reached. 
NOTE: 
 
Heating system should cycle at least 
two times after the last adjustment to 
achieve accurate calibration. 
THERMOMETER CALIBRATION
 
Place an oven thermometer or accurate temperature meter 
in the geometric center of the cabinet. Power heating sys-
tem up and turn thermostat clockwise, to maximum setting 
and wait approximately 45 minutes. 
 
Open the door and check inside thermometer temperature. 
In recalibration is required, pry the plastic cover off the dial 
body and with a small flat blade screwdriver, insert into the 
pointer as shown. 
 
Carefully turn the pointer with your finger to match the sta-
bilized internal temperature. Be careful not to bend the 
pointer, as it is very fragile.
