Harman P61 idle temp

[Spaz]

What temperature does the P61 idle at? I'm trying figure out at what a what point I should turn it off. Mine on 1 runs at 270ish which makes it to hot above 35ish outside.

I have about 300F on the side near the top on my P43 as low as it will go in room mode.

Just started my comparison checks, let you know once I get some time into it
Where do you take you temps from on the stove?

I stand about 4 feet in front and aim it at the flame.

Ok you should be aiming it at the heat exchangers, the glass distorts the true temperature. I’ve always gone dead center of the heat exchangers on the metal between 4 and 5

Not the best day to try the temp at idle here temperature has gone from -2 to +10c
