Calling help for Lamm ML2.1 biasing!

Please help me with a technical question regarding biasing the V2 setting on ML2.1. I lost my manual lately and I just need to clarify one thing before replacing some new 6c33c tubes. My question is when measuring the V2 pot, the point voltage 0.31VDC is representing the plate current, that means the higher the measurement, the hotter the amp will get? Please clarify for me. Thanks very much.

Well, I am a teach noob but all I needed to know is when I bias on the V2 position. Valves higher than 0.31VDC meant making the tube hotter? I just don't want to fry the amp. I guess many seasoned ML2.1 owners will know the answer.

Thanks for the input and all these info helps to make sense now! 
So higher numbers makes the tube goes hotter as the max. value should not exceed 0.31dc. This has anyways been the way I calibrated too. I just got confused when I read from another post stating that when measuring plate current, less current will heat up the tubes. And some how with the ML2.1, the V2 pot it has 'Plate Current ' printed on!
