  • Turn screw about half a turn in (clockwise). This reduces the distance the bimetallic spring has to move turn the lock on and shortens the time the lock takes to turn off as the heater cools down

  • On my door lock, the lock now always turns on (so the machine can start) and the time delay to unlock was a satisfactory 30 seconds or so.
