you crispier results.
The default is 350°F (default cooking temperature). To begin, press START/PAUSE and adjust the cooking temperature
and time. The Brio will preheat at the set cooking temperature. Once the Brio has reached the set temperature, the
Brio will beep twice, countdown for 10 seconds, beep once more, and then start cooking automatically. To deactivate
automatic preheat, press Menu + Preheat prior to cooking. Repeat to reactivate automatic preheat.
Warm
Keep your food warm until you are ready to serve.

Rotisserie

up to a 4-pound chicken).
Follow the diagram in the Owner’s Manual for assembly instructions, then press Rotisserie and set the
temperature and time. Press START/PAUSE to begin cooking.
Grill
Grill your favorite meats and vegetables.
Press Grill and use the Up and Down arrows to adjust the temperature and time. Begin preheating to get the
Grill/Griddle Plate hot. The Grill/Griddle Plate should be on Rack Position 2.
Sear
Sear your food before and/or after the cooking
process.
The defaults are 425°F for 5 minutes, for up to 30 min. Use the Sear function to sear foods directly before
and/or after the regular cooking cycle.
Stage
Lets you cook at different temperatures and times
throughout the cooking process.
The defaults are 350°F for 15 minutes, and 350°F for 0 minutes for all subsequent stages.
You can program up to 5 stages. To use them, put in a time value for the stage you need. To skip them, leave
the time at 0 minutes.
Watts
Control the power consumption of your Brio.
The default wattage on the Brio is 1800W. Using a lower wattage will lower your energy consumption, and is
ideal if your home does not allow 1800 watts. Press Watts to adjust from 1800W to 700W or 1500W.
Note: Lower wattages may affect cooking times.
