Before getting started, use below guide to ensure the
Foodi® Smart Probe is inserted correctly. Be sure to insert
probe into the thickest part of your protein.
How to place the probe
DO NOT use the probe with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner than 2 cm.
FOOD TYPE: PLACEMENT CORRECT INCORRECT
Steaks
Pork chops
Chicken breasts
Burgers
Tenderloins
Fish fillets
• Insert probe horizontally
into the center of the
thickest part of the meat.
• Make sure the probe is close
to (but not touching) the
bone and away from any fat
or gristle.
• Make sure the tip of the
probe is inserted straight
into the center of the meat,
not angled toward the
bottom or top of it.
NOTE: The thickest part
of the fillet may not be
the center. It is important
that the end of the
thermometer hits this area
so that desired results are
achieved.
NOTE: Cuts of meat should
be at least 1" thick to
achieve reliable cooking
results using the probe.
Using meats thinner than
1" may lead to an incorrect
doneness level.
Whole chicken • Insert probe horizontally
into the thickest part of the
breast, parallel to, but not
touching, the bone.
• Make sure the tip reaches
the center of the thickest
part of the breast and
doesn’t go all the way
through the breast into the
cavity.

Want to shorten cook time, but don't need both zones to finish at the same time?
When Sync or Match are not selected, technology is integrated into the design to
automatically optimise the distribution of power when manually selecting two zones with
dierent cook times. This means the food in the zone with the longer cook time may finish
cooking before the set time ends. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.
Using Two Zones
NOTE: For best results, start checking food for doneness before cook time ends. Stop
cooking at any time if the desired level of crispiness has been achieved, but make sure any
raw proteins have reached a food-safe temperature.
STEP 1: Program Zone 1
STEP 2: Set Time & Temperature
