THERMAL CUT-OFF (Electric Models Only)

The thermal cut-off is located on the side of the heater element housing.

To test the thermal cut-off, set the resistance scale to Rx1 and place the probes on the terminals with
the red wires. The meter should read continuity, (0) ohms resistance. This is because this thermal cut

off is normally closed and will open at temperatures above 350“ R If the thermal cut-off is open {infinite

resistance) it must be replaced.
