Troubleshooting
Food is overcooked or undercooked.
Utilize the integrated Digital Cooking Probe and Smart Cook System for precise temperature monitoring. Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the food and the desired temperature/doneness is set. For manual cooking, consult the recipe guide for recommended temperature settings (LO, MED, HI, MAX) and cooking times.
Food is sticking to the cooking surfaces.
Ensure the ceramic-coated components are clean before each use. While the coating is non-stick, using a small amount of cooking oil or spray can further prevent sticking for certain foods. All cooking components are dishwasher safe for thorough cleaning.
Grill marks are not pronounced on food.
Ensure the appliance is fully preheated for the Grill function before placing food on the grill plate. For optimal searing and char, use the HI (260°C) or MAX (up to 265°C) temperature settings, suitable for most meats and vegetables.
Excess smoke is produced during cooking.
While designed to cook without excess smoke, ensure the splatter guard is properly installed. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil or marinades that could drip and burn. For very fatty foods, ensure the drip tray is clean and consider using slightly lower temperatures.
Authentic Chargrill: Delivers genuine chargrilled flavor and marks indoors with less smoke.
Faster Cooking: Cook meals up to 45% faster than in a traditional fan oven.
Health-Conscious: Enables cooking with significantly less fat and oil.
Precise Cooking: The Smart Cook System ensures perfectly cooked meat and fish every time.
Generous Capacity: Suitable for both couples and large families.
Simple Cleanup: Dishwasher-safe parts and non-stick surfaces make maintenance easy.
Cons
Learning Curve: Mastering all six functions and the Smart Cook System may take some initial practice.
Counter Space: Its family-size capacity means it requires a dedicated amount of counter space.
