SMART QUICK START GUIDE XL GRILL How to place the thermometer FOOD TYPE Steaks Pork chops Lamb chops Chicken breasts Burgers Tenderloins Fish fillets PLACEMENT · 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 end of the thermometer hits the thickest part so desired results are achieved. CORRECT INCORRECT Whole chicken · Insert thermometer 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. DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat 1 inch thick or thinner.

FG550Series _QSG _ M P_ Mv7 Preheat for better results For best grilling results, preheat the Foodi Smart XL Grill before adding food. It will take approximately 10 minutes. Adding food before preheating is complete may lead to overcooking and smoke. APROX 10 MINS How to turn off Preheat We do not recommend skipping preheating, as it will impact cooking results. However, if you would like to skip it, after selecting a function and pressing the START/STOP button (when the unit is then in preheat mode), press the PREHEAT button to cancel preheating. Cooking with the leave-in thermometer The FoodiTM Smart Thermometer continues to monitor doneness throughout the cooking process, unlike a traditional instant-read thermometer. STEP 1 Set Up STEP 2 Select Cook Function · Remove the storage compartment on right side of the unit. · Unwind cord and remove thermometer. · Plug thermometer into jack under orange silicone cover on right side of the unit. · P ress the desired cooking function (eg. Grill). · Use the left arrows to select desired cook temperature (setting a time is not necessary when using the thermometer). STEP 3 Program Thermometer · Press the PRESET button. · Use the right arrows to choose the desired protein. · Use the left arrows to choose the desired doneness. STEP 4 Place Thermometer · Press the START/STOP button to begin preheating. · Wait until unit is fully preheated before adding food. · Insert thermometer in protein using the guide on the front page. STEP 5 Add Food STEP 6 Track Progress · Once unit has preheated, "ADD FOOD" will appear on the screen. · Add the food with thermometer grip fully inside the unit, and close hood over cord to begin cooking (images below). · The progress bar at the top of the display will track doneness. · Flashing doneness indicates progression to that doneness. · When using Roast and Grill, the unit will beep and display FLIP. Flipping is optional, but recommended. STEP 7 Carry-Over Cook & Rest · U nit will beep and show "GET FOOD", indicating it's time to carry-over cook and rest food on a plate for 35 minutes. · C arry-over cooking is when food retains heat and continues to cook after being removed from the source of heat. NOTE: If selecting the MANUAL button, use the internal cook temperatures recommended in the Owner's Guide. Ninja Beef Doneness Guide Perception of what a specific internal doneness looks like differs from person to person, even restaurant to restaurant. This guide shows what to expect with each preset beef doneness level (we have provided a wide range of options so you can customize doneness to your liking). 1 2 RARE 3 4 MEDIUM RARE 5 6 MEDIUM 7 8 MEDIUM WELL 9 WELL NOTE: This guide is based on New York Strip Steak. Using different cuts and/or sizes of beef can alter the outcome. For cuts 2 inches or thicker (e.g., filet mignon), we recommend selecting the lower temperature setting within the desired doneness category (e.g., Rare 1 instead of Rare 2). Using the thermometer in different cooking scenarios SAME PROTEINS & SIZE DIFFERENT DONENESS SAME PROTEINS DIFFERENT SIZES 2+ DIFFERENT PROTEINS 1 Set PRESET to the highest desired level of doneness. 2 Insert the thermometer in the protein with the higher desired level of doneness. 3 When the lesser level of doneness is reached, remove the protein without thermometer. 4 Continue cooking until the next level of doneness is reached. 1 Set PRESET to the desired level of doneness for the smaller protein. 2 Then refer to steps 47 above. 3 Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the larger protein and use the arrows to the left of the display to choose the other protein's doneness. Press the START/STOP button to begin. 1 Insert thermometer in the protein with the lowest desired level of doneness. 2 Use MANUAL to choose the desired internal temperature (refer to Owner's Guide). 3 Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the other protein, and use the arrows to the left of the display to change the desired internal temperature. NOTE: DO NOT close hood on thermometer grip, as this will prop open the hood and create inaccurate readings. Did you know? Meat keeps cooking when you remove it from the grill. To prevent overcooking, the unit will beep right before your food reaches desired doneness, taking carry-over cooking into account. Removing your food Carry-over cooking & resting Transfer meat to a plate using silicone-tipped tongs with the thermometer still inserted. WARNING: Thermometer and grip will be hot. Allow protein to carry-over cook and rest for 35 minutes. "REST" will appear and timer will count up. To check the internal temperature of other pieces of protein, press and hold MANUAL. Then insert the thermometer into another piece of protein and check the display for the internal temperature reading. NOTE: Skipping carry-over cooking and cutting into food right away may result in a rarer level of doneness.
