In automatic mode you can set the temp but not the output % of power.
In manual mode, you can set the output % of power but the temp setpoint isn't followed (that is, if my temp is set to 120°, the element will still fire beyond that).
Why can't I do both....set the output % while keeping the water at the set temp?
Oddly, the manual suggests this is possible. Figure 3 shows the automatic output value (A) at 60%. I've tried tried all three settings for the Automatic-Manual (A-M) status.
In case there's another way around this, my goal is to keep a mash temp setpoint with the element at say, 50%, so when I recirculate and heat my wort during step mashing I minimize risk of scorching.
