5 Place the accessory required for your
selected cook function in the unit and
close the lid. Press the dial to begin
preheating.
6 While the unit is preheating, insert the
probe horizontally into the centre of the
thickest part of the piece of protein.
Refer to the chart on the adjacent page
on further probe placement instructions.
7 When the unit has preheated and "ADD
FOOD" appears on the screen, open the
lid, place food with inserted probe in the
unit and close the lid over the probe cord if
the function requires the lid to be closed.
Correct probe placement.

8 The progress bar at the top of the display
will track the stages of cook. Flashing
indications progression to that stage.
NOTE: When using Grill, Plancha, Roast and
Air Fry, the unit will beep and display FLIP.
Flipping is optional but recommended
9 The unit will automatically stop when
your selection is almost reached, as it
accounts for carry-over cooking and
GET FOOD will display on the screen.
10 When REST displays on the screen,
transfer the protein to a plate. Probe
can be removed before transferring. The
protein will continue to carry-over cook to
your set outcome, which takes about 3–5
minutes. This is an important step, as not
resting could lead to results looking less
cooked. Carry-over cook times can vary
based on size of protein, cut of protein and
type of protein.

NOTE: The probe will be HOT. Use either
oven gloves or tongs to take the probe out
of the food.
NOTE: To check the internal temperature
of other pieces of protein, press and hold
MANUAL and insert the probe into each
piece of meat.
USING THE PROBE IN DIFFERENT
COOKING SCENARIOS:
Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same
size to different levels of outcome:
• Set the cook level to the highest required.
• Insert the probe in the protein with the
highest desired cook level.
• After preheating, place proteins inside the
grill. When the progress bar shows that
the lowest cook level is reached, remove
the protein without probe.
• Continue cooking the remaining protein
until the next desired cook level is reached.
Cooking 2 or more proteins
of different sizes:
• Insert probe in the smaller protein and
use the Preset feature to choose the level
of outcome.
• When that protein is cooked, remove it
from the unit.
• Using oven gloves, transfer probe to the
larger protein and use the arrows to the
left of the display to choose its level of
outcome.
Cooking 2 or more different
types of protein:
• Insert probe in the protein with the lower
desired level of outcome.
• Use the Manual feature to choose the
desired internal temperature.
• When that protein is cooked, remove it
from the unit.
• Using oven gloves, transfer probe to
the other protein and use the Manual
feature to choose the desired internal
temperature.

HOW TO INSERT THE PROBE
NOTE: DO NOT use the probe with frozen foods or for cuts of meat thinner than 1.5cm.
FOOD TYPE:
PLACEMENT
Steaks
• Insert probe
horizontally into the
Pork chops
centre of the thickest
Lamb chops
part of the meat.
Chicken breasts
• Make sure the tip of
Burgers
the probe is inserted
Tenderloins
straight into the centre
Fish fillets
of the meat, not angled
toward the bottom or
top of it.
• Make sure the probe
is close to (but not
touching) the bone and
away from any fat
or gristle.
NOTE: The thickest part
of the fillet may not be
the centre. It is important
that the end of the probe
hits the thickest part
so desired results are
achieved.
Whole chicken
• Insert probe
horizontally into the
thickest part of the
breast, parallel to, but
not touching, the bone.
• Make sure the top
reaches the centre of
the thickest part of the
breast and doesn't go
all the way through the
breast into the cavity.
