  • Tweaking thermostat on a lidl boiler

    lidl-boiler-knob.jpg

    Gently remove the knob, using a flat blade, go easy as they are not too strong. Once the knob is off you will see around the spindle a collar with two notches in it.
    Using long nosed pliers turn the collar anti clockwoise 1/8th of a turn (45 degrees) anti clockwise. this will ensure you can reach and maintain a rolling boil.
    It will however void any warranty that applied before you messed with it!hope that helps

    This works well to allow a boil of sorts. Does anyone know if the new version with the digital controller will boil / can be broken to make it boil?
