SEAR Function
You can sear foods at 500°F for up to
2 minutes.
1. Follow Standard Cooking, Step 1.
2. Press UPPER SEAR and/or LOWER
SEAR button to initiate SEAR function.
SEAR will appear in place of the
temperature(s) in the LCD screen.
In the example below, the lower plate
has been set to SEAR.
3. Press the START/STOP button. The
LED light around the START/STOP
button will illuminate and the unit will
beep one time.
4. In the LCD screen, PREHEAT will
display and SEAR will flash while the
plate(s) heat up to 500°.
5. When the plate(s) reach the SEAR
temperature, SEAR will stop flashing,
READY will display and the unit will
beep 3 times.
NOTE: If both plates are selected for
SEAR, when the first plate reaches
temperature it will show READY and
the unit will beep 1 time; you can begin
cooking on this plate if you choose.
The second plate will continue to
preheat until it reaches temperature, at
which time it will show READY and the
unit will beep 3 times. In the example
below, both plate temperatures have
been set to SEAR and the upper plate
is ready while the lower plate is still
preheating.
In the example shown below, both
plates have been set to SEAR, but only
the upper plate has reached SEAR
temperature. The lower plate is still
preheating.
6. The 02:00 minute countdown timer will
flash ten times to allow enough time to
put the food on the plate(s).
7. After 10 seconds, the 2-minute
countdown will begin. To sear for less
than 2 minutes, simply press the arrow
down button at any time during
10-second delay or countdown to
decrease the time. You cannot sear for
more than 2 minutes at a time.
8. When the countdown is complete, the
unit will beep 3 times to indicate the
SEAR cycle has finished, and the unit
will adjust to the temperature(s)
selected on the corresponding
temperature knobs.
