the probe is set. At that point the controller will change to the set holding temperature
and remain there until the unit is manually shut down. An audible signal indicates that
the cook cycle is complete and that the oven is going to the Hold Temperature Mode.
If cooking in the default Cook Mode the smoker will cook the product at the selected
cooking temperature for the selected cooking time and then change to the selected
holding temperature until it is shut off manually.
During the Cook Mode the LCD display of the IQ continually displays oven status
after the cook cycle has been started. Using these features any kitchen staff can easily
determine the status of the load in progress.
Please note that the oven temperature displayed while the oven is running is the actual
air temperature inside the oven. The probe temperature displayed is the internal
temperature of the product. In order to see the set cooking temperature, probe
temperature, or holding temperature, briefly press the corresponding button.
The IQ controller is equipped with two
preset
buttons
for easy selection of common
settings for popular foods. Pressing the button marked Ribs/Chickens will make the
following settings.
CookTemp 225
HoldTemp 140
Cook Time 3:00
Pressing the button marked Briskets will make the following settings:
CookTemp 225
HoldTemp 140
Cook Time 12:00
Once one of these preset buttons has been pushed you may start a Cook cycle using
these settings by simply pressing Start.
The IQ controller is equipped with a power backup system to prevent your Smoker
from ‘forgetting’ what it is doing in the case of a power failure. The IQ will wait out
power failures of up to 10 minutes and resume normal cooking. This backup system
means that turning off the Master Switch will not cause the IQ to forget its current
instructions. The
Reset button
may be used to clear these current instructions and
cause the IQ to start over from the beginning.
