TEMPERATURE PROBE FUNCTION
Many people judge if meat is cooked by touch or sight, or from the length of the cooking
time. The use of the temperature probe has several benefits over these methods:
Provide consistent, repeatable results
Prevent overcooking
Prevent under cooked food
Eliminate guesswork
In use, the sharp point of the temperature probe is inserted into the food and the other
end is connected to your grill. The probe constantly sends the internal temperature of
the food to your grill where it is compared to a target temperature you have previously
set. Once reached, your grill will sound an alarm and switch off.
1.
Connect the temperature probe to your grill (FIG D).
Press the 2 button.
2.
3.
Set the cooking temperature you require using the u and d buttons and allow your
grill to heat up.
4.
Press the probe (
the display will show 75 (default).
5.
Set the probe temperature you require using the u and d buttons. The range is
from 48ºC to 81ºC in 3º increments.
6.
Insert the temperature probe into the food and carefully place the food onto the
preheated grill. Make sure that the probe doesn't affect the lid closing or that the
cable isn't pinched when the lid is closed.
7.
During cooking, the display will alternate between showing the target temperature
you have set and the temperature that the probe is actually reading. When the
internal temperature of the food matches the target temperature, the light above the
probe button will turn green and your grill will beep five times. The heaters of your
grill will switch off when the target temperature is reached but since cooking will
continue due to the residual heat, remove the food as soon as possible.
To cancel the function at any time, press the 2 button.
8.
If you forget to plug in the probe the display will show "NO PAB" (NO PRoBe) and
your grill will beep.
The probe will become HOT during use.
Always insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat away from any bone or fat
which can give a false reading (FIG E).
For the most accurate temperature reading, make sure that the probe is placed as
central as possible between the upper and lower surfaces of the meat.
Before and after use, clean the probe with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Store the probe by wrapping the cable between the two halves of the handle and
inserting it into the recess on the side of your grill (FIG F).
Note: The temperature probe is a guide but you have to make up your own mind as
to whether food is safe or not. Temperature probe recommended only for those foods
