Set Appliance State:

Set Multimeter to mVolts DC Set meter to measure DC mVolts
Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4

Measurement:

Set multimeter to measure DC 300 mV range.
Clip -ve lead to bottom connection of Klixon Overheat.
Clip +ve lead to outer casing of thermocouple.
Hold in ON Button, pilot lights.
The voltage will increase slowly up to around 14mV DC
after approx 20 seconds.
If the thermocouple is faulty (open circuit) a voltage of
