Operating Instructions

1. Insert Probes: Carefully insert the tip of each meat probe into the thickest part of your food, avoiding bones. Ensure the probe is fully inserted for accurate readings.
2. Select Food Type & Doneness: In the Weber iGrill app, select the type of meat you are cooking (e.g., beef, poultry, pork) and your desired doneness level (e.g., rare, medium, well-done). The app provides USDA guidelines for safe cooking temperatures. You can also set custom target temperatures.
3. Monitor Temperature: The iGrill 2 will display the current temperature of each probe on its LED screen. The app on your smart device will show real-time temperature graphs, estimated cooking times, and allow you to track the progress from a distance (up to 150 feet via Bluetooth).
4. Receive Alerts: The app will send notifications to your smart device when your food is approaching its target temperature and when it has reached the desired doneness. This allows you to manage your cooking without constantly checking the grill.

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and accuracy of your iGrill 2 thermometer:

• Cleaning: Clean the thermometer unit and probes with a lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleanser.
• Avoid Submersion: The iGrill 2 unit is not waterproof. Never submerge the main unit in fluid. While probes are heat-resistant, avoid submerging the probe connections in water.
• Storage: Store the iGrill 2 and its probes in a dry place when not in use. Use the provided probe wraps to keep cables organized and prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Bluetooth Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device and the iGrill 2 unit is powered on. Keep the smart device within the 150-foot Bluetooth range. Walls and other obstructions can reduce range. Try restarting both the iGrill 2 and your smart device.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings: Ensure probes are fully inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Check that probe cables are not damaged. If a probe consistently reads inaccurately, it may need replacement.
• App Not Responding: Close and reopen the Weber iGrill app. Ensure your smart device's operating system is up to date.
