The temperatures suggested here usually cook fairly well. When using metal radiators, increase temperatures 25 to 50 degrees.

Should the mercury in the thermometer tube become separated, hold a lighted match under the bottom until the mercury runs to the top of the tube and unites.

Place the thermometer on top of the flat surface and half way between the edge and center of the radiator, while it is being heated. As soon as the mercury indicator points to the temperature desired, the radiator is ready to be used.
