OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your grill for the first time.
1.
Remove all packaging materials and check to ensure that all parts and accessories
are accounted for.
2.
Read and remove any stickers on the unit except for the rating label on the bottom,
which should remain on the unit.
3.
Wash the lid, grill plate, and drip tray with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO COOK WITH THE PROBE THERMOMETER
STEP 1
STEP 3
Insert the probe horizontally into the
thickest part of your food (see User Guide
for examples of other foods). Be sure the
tip of the thermometer isn’t touching bone.
If you’re cooking multiple pieces, put the
probe in the largest one.
HOW TO SET UP THE GRILL FOR COOKING
1.
Set the unit on a firm, heat-resistant surface with at least 2 inches of clearance on the sides
and 3 inches of clearance in the back.
2.
Set the water tray in the unit base and fill with 1 cup water. Set the drip tray over the
water tray. Place the heating element on the unit over the drip tray. Place the grill plate
over the heating element.
3.
Plug the power cord into the unit base, then plug the other end into a 120-volt outlet.
All buttons will briefly illuminate, then the grill will switch to standby mode, with the GRILL
TEMP button illuminated in blue and the default temperature of 400˚F (204˚C) set.
HOW TO COOK IN MANUAL MODE
To cook in manual mode, first ensure that the thermometer is not plugged into the jack.
1.
With the unit in standby mode, press the + or – buttons to adjust the grill temperature.
2.
Press the TIME button, then use the + or - buttons to adjust the time.
3.
Put the lid on and press START/STOP to begin the unit’s preheat.
4.
Proceed as directed for Probe Mode, beginning with Step 6. When time is up, check foods
for doneness and enjoy.
STEP 2
With the unit in Standby mode, plug
the other end of the thermometer into
the jack on the unit. PROBE TEMP will
light up in blue.
Use the + and –
buttons to set your
desired target internal
temperature for the
food OR select one
of the preset function
buttons: CHICKEN,
MEAT, or FISH. If
you’re cooking meat,
you can specify your
preferred doneness.
Press the CHICKEN
preset once for white
and twice for dark.
STEP 4
Press the GRILL TEMP
button, then use
the + and – buttons
to adjust the grill
temperature. NOTE:
You must set grill
temperature even if
you’re using a preset.
HOW TO COOK WITH THE PROBE THERMOMETER
STEP 5
STEP 7
Put the lid on. NOTE: The lid can close
over the probe’s wire, but make sure it
is not closing on the probe itself. Press
START/STOP to begin the unit’s preheat.
Halfway through cooking, the unit will beep,
and FLIP will display on the panel. Flip foods
as needed.
STEP 6
When the preheat is done, place the food
in the unit and close the lid.
STEP 8
Cook until the unit beeps and END displays
on the panel. Carefully remove the food.
Let your food rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then
carefully slide the probe out of the food—the
probe will be hot—and enjoy.

MEAT – Medium-Rare both "Medium" and "Rare" will illuminate on the display, and similarly "Medium"
