CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
Your Fast Eddy by Cookshack Model FEC120 has the new Cookshack IQ4 control system.
This controller has the same great cook & hold features as previous models of the IQ
controller, but with an additional feature that allows you to cook with a meat probe. This
optional probe plugs into the unit and allows you to set the internal temperature to
which you want the product cooked. If you did not purchase the meat probe with your
unit, call Cookshack Customer Service at (800) 423-0698 to order your probe.
