Yes, I instructions also say, "This should be done with the press top resting on the sponge pad." I assumed this meant closed but not locked as well.

My instructions say to turn the temp dial all the way up to 350 and adjust the screw to match at temp. It makes more sense to do it your way. I wont set it to 350 again either way out of fear of setting the thing on fire.

I guess that is a high end calibration method.
But if you use the LOW end of the scale, it could be WAY off.

Is there a reason why a normal candy thermometer cannot be used?

As long as you can close the press w/o breaking the thermometer it should be OK.
I picked up a meat thermometer at the grocery store for $7. This will let me close in on the temp easier before using the temp strips. I can read the temp w/o opening the press.

I think ac12 was right on. Because I used a high end calibration the low end (where it would actually be used) was way off. I re calibrated it on the low end and it is spot on. I just calibrated to the temperature that I'll use it at and any variance in either direction within the range of temperatures that I'll use it should be negligible.
