ACCESSORY STORAGE PLACEMENT

NOTE: For longest use, we recommend hand-washing the accessories. The air fry
basket and wire rack can be put in the dishwasher, but this may cause them to wear
more quickly over time.
We recommend placing the wire rack, SearPlate, and air fry basket inside the oven and
running it on Air Fry at 450˚F for 20 minutes without adding food. Make sure the area
is well ventilated, as some odor may be released.. This removes any packaging residue
and odor traces that may be present. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the
performance of the oven.

USING THE FOODI SMART
THERMOMETER
Before First Use
Make sure the thermometer jack is free of
any residue and the cord is free of knots
before plugging it into the jack.
1 Remove the thermometer from storage.
Then unwind the cord from the cord
wrap to remove the thermometer on the
right side of the unit.
2 Select the desired cook function (e.g.,
Sear Crisp) and press TEMP/SHADE
button to set the oven temperature.
3 Plug the thermometer into the jack.
Push firmly on the plug until it cannot
go into the jack any further and you hear
the plug click into place.
4 The thermometer icon on the display will
illuminate once the thermometer is plugged
in and thermometer mode is enabled by
pressing the PRESET or MANUAL button.
5 If using a food type/temperature preset,
press the PRESET, then rotate the dial
to select your desired food type. Press
PRESET again to confirm your selection.
Press the DONENESS button, then rotate
the dial to set the internal doneness of
your food (Rare through Well). Press
DONENESS again to confirm your
selection. If manually setting the target
temperature, press the MANUAL button
and use the preset temperature chart as
a guide when rotating the dial to select
the temperature.
NOTE: There is no need to set a cook
time, as the unit will automatically turn
o the heating element and alert you
when your food has finished cooking.
NOTE: Only Sear Crisp, Air Fry, Air Roast,
Bake, and Broil functions can be used
with the thermometer.
6Place the accessory required for your
selected cook function in the unit and
close the door. Press the setting dial to
begin preheating.
7While the unit is preheating, insert
the thermometer horizontally into the
center of the thickest part of the piece
of protein. Refer to the chrt on the
next pge for further thermometer
plcement instructions.
8When the unit has preheated and the
unit beeps, open the door, place food
with inserted thermometer in the unit,
and route the thermometer cord over
the top of the door. Then close the door.
9The display will show the current
thermometer temperature and target
thermometer temperature to track
progress. Press TEMP button to view
the oven temperature. Press TIME
button to view time elapsed.
10 The unit will automatically stop when
thermometer temperature has reached
the target. Display will beep and show
“END HOT”.
11 Transfer protein to a plate and allow to
rest for 5 minutes before serving. The
protein will continue to carry-over cook
once it’s reached the target temperature.
This can cause the protein to reach a
higher temperature. Carry-over cook
times can vary based on size of protein,
cut of protein, and type of protein.

• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the
center of the thickest
part of the meat.
• Make sure the tip of the
thermometer is inserted
straight into the center
of the meat, not angled
toward the bottom or top
of it.
• Make sure the thermometer
is close to (but not
touching) the bone and
away from any fat or gristle.
NOTE: The thickest part
of the fillet may not be the
center. It is important that
the tip of the thermometer
hits the thickest part so
desired results are achieved.
USING THE THERMOMETER IN DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:
Cooking 2 or More Proteins of the Same Size to Dierent Levels of Doneness:
• Set the Preset feature to the highest desired level of doneness.
• Insert the thermometer in the protein with the higher desired level of doneness.
• When the lower desired level of doneness is reached, remove the protein without
thermometer.
• Continue cooking the remaining protein until the next desired level of doneness is
reached.
Cooking 2 or More Proteins of Dierent Sizes:
• Insert thermometer in the smaller protein and use the Preset feature to choose the level
of doneness.
• When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the oven.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the larger protein and press the DONENESS
button and rotate dial to choose desired doneness.
Cooking 2 or More Dierent Types of Protein:
• Insert thermometer in the protein with the lower desired level of doneness.
• Use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature.
• When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the oven.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the other protein and use the Manual feature
to choose the desired internal temperature.
HOW TO CORRECTLY INSERT THE THERMOMETER
NOTE: DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat 1 inch thick
or thinner.
NOTE: The thermometer will be HOT.
Wait for the thermometer to cool before
cleaning and storing. Use either oven
mitts or tongs to take the thermometer
out of the protein.

you do not have a pizza peel, you can
use parchment paper. Refer to page 19
for details on using parchment in the
Alternative to Pizza Peel section.
NOTE: For cooking multiple pizzas
back to back, we recommend fully
preheating the unit before each use
for best results. If you do not want to
preheat after the first pizza, you may
skip it by holding the setting dial for 3
seconds when starting the cook cycle.
Skipping preheat may impact cook time
and quality.
HOW TO REDUCE SMOKE
When cooking greasy, drippy foods with the
Air Fry Basket, place the SearPlate on the
bottom rails to catch the drippings.

Canola
Refined coconut
Avocado
Vegetable
Grapeseed

• The oven may produce smoke when
cooking on a hotter setting than what is
recommended. Avoid exceeding 400°F
when using oils to limit smoke.
• When using cooking spray, DO NOT
spray it on the interior side walls or
heating elements of the oven. Cooking
spray may reduce life of product.
NOTE: If preferred, place the SearPlate
on top of the oven after preheating to
load food. To flip or slide food onto
SearPlate, pull 3
/4out until you feel hook
on left side of oven. This mechanism is
designed to stabilize the SearPlate if
