Setting the Cooking Temperature
Your Cookshack Model 075/076 has the new Cookshack IQ4 control system. This controller has the same
great cook & hold features as the 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.
Directions for using the Controller
1. Turn Master Switch ON.
2. Choose the desired mode by pressing the MODE button while
simultaneously pushing the up or down arrow until the desired
mode flashes: Cook Mode for standard operation, which
automatically drops into the preset hold temperature after the
preset cooking time is reached; Probe Mode if cooking with the
optional meat probe. The default mode is Cook Mode.
3. Set cooking temperature by pressing and holding the COOK
TEMP button while using the ADJUST TIME OR TEMP
buttons to change settings.
4. Set holding temperature by pressing and holding the HOLD
TEMP button while using the ADJUST TIME OR TEMP
buttons to change settings.
5. If using the Cook Mode, set cooking time by pressing and
holding the COOK TIME button while using the ADJUST
TIME OR TEMP buttons to change settings.
6. If using the Probe Mode, set probe temperature by pressing and holding the PROBE TEMP button while
using he ADJUST TIME OR TEMP buttons to change settings.
7. Press START.
To use the meat probe, simply insert the jack into the covered RCA receptacle on the controller panel. Place
the probe end through the vent hole on the oven top and press into the largest piece of meat in the smoker oven.
The oven will cook at the set cooking temperature until the internal temperature of the meat reaches the
temperature at which 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 Temp 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 both cooking modes 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.
