USING THE PROBE
IMPORTANT: DO NOT place hands near
built-in Probe cord when in use to prevent

of the display to select your desired food type
and the arrows to the left of the display to
set the internal doneness of your food (Rare
through Well).
NOTE: Cooking di erent meats or the same
ones to di erent doneness? Refer to the next
page for details on programming.
If selecting the MANUAL button, use the below
recommended internal cook temperatures.

Well Done (70˚C)
NOTE: Refer to the UK Food Standards Agency
for recommended food safe temperatures.
NOTE: Preset doneness temperatures for BEEF/
LAMB are lower than normal recommendations
as unit will carry-over cook 5-10°C.
5 Place the accessory required for your selected
cook function in the grill and close the lid.
Press START/STOP to begin preheating.

When the grill 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.
Correct probe placement.
Probe grip is fully inside unit.
8
The progress bar at the top of the display will
track outcome. Flashing indicates progression
to that stage..
NOTE: When using GRILL and ROAST, the
unit will beep and display FLIP. Flipping is
optional, but recommended.
9
The grill will automatically stop when desired
doneness is almost reached, as it accounts
for carry-over cooking, and "GET FOOD" will
display on the screen.
10 Transfer the protein to a plate while "REST"
displays on the screen. Probe does not need
to still be inserted. The protein will continue
to carry-over cook to your set doneness,
which will take 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
protein.
NOTE: To check the internal temperature
of other pieces of protein, press and hold
MANUAL and insert the probe into each piece
of meat.
