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 illness due to undercooked 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.

Connect the temperature probe to your grill (FIG D).

Press the 2 button.

Set the cooking temperature you require using the u and d buttons and allow your grill to heat up.

) button. The light above the probe button will light up red and the display will show 75 (default).

Press the probe (

Set the probe temperature you require using the u and d buttons. The range is from 48ºC to 81ºC in 3º steps (113ºF to 177ºF in 5º/6º steps).

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.

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.

•

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).

•

Before and after use, clean the probe with warm soapy water, rinse and then 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).

TIMER FUNCTION

Using the timer is optional. It doesn't turn your grill off, it simply beeps five times to tell you the time is up. Use the timer with the basic grilling function. To

set the timer:

Switch on your grill and set the desired temperature. Allow it to heat up until the light above the temperature button turns green.

Press the timer T button the light above the button will come on and the display will flash 5:00 (default). Use the u and d buttons to set the

desired time. The time can be set from 30 seconds minute to 19 minutes 30 seconds in 30 second increments. If you don't press either button within

5 seconds, the grill will revert to temperature mode.

The display will stop flashing and the timer will start to count down 5 seconds after you last press the u or d button.

When the timer reaches zero, the grill will beep five times and the display will flash 0:00. Remember that your grill is still active and you must remove

the food to avoid overcooking it.

To cancel the timer function at any time, press and hold the timer button for three seconds. Your grill will revert to the basic grilling function.
