A step-by-step guide to operate the Chef SMART grill
The SMART Cooking System helps you achieve professional results even on the most demanding foods. Cook by placing food on the specially designed rotisserie mechanism using the myGRILL cooking accessories. It can even take control and cook by it’s own.
Step 1 – Lighting the grill
This Chef SMART grill is intended exclusively for the preparation of grilled foods using charcoal and it is suitable only for outdoor use.
Lighting charcoal with a charcoal chimney starter (recommended)
- Place a solid firelighter at the centre of the grill’s fire bowl.
- Add appropriate amount of charcoal in the charcoal chimney starter.
- Light the firelighter using a match.
- Place the charcoal chimney starter in the centre of the grill’s fire bowl, on-top of the firefighter.
- When the top layer of the charcoal has a light coating of grey ash, carefully pour the hot charcoal into the fire bowl. Remember to wear protective gloves.
- Distribute the charcoal evenly in the fire bowl, using a suitable metallic implement. (Stainless Steel Charcoal Tongs)
Important: You should never light more that the recommended amount of burning charcoal in the fire bowl. Please reference the Chef SMART operating manual at the “Technical Data” section.
Step 2 – Food preparation
The next step is to select the appropriate cooking accessories for the food your are cooking on the grill.
- 4 mm Stainless Steel Skewer
For your favorite fruits, vegetables, and small cubes of meat. - 6 mm Stainless Steel Skewer
For large meats, sausages and vegetables. - Stainless Steel Rotating Rack (Basket)
For steaks, burgers, fish and several other grilled items.
Note: You can use the Stainless Steel Rotating Rack to grill by hand.
Step 3 – Selecting a cooking mode
The next step is to select the cooking mode. Use the control knob to select one from the three main cooking modes.
- Continuous Mode
Set the rotation speed easily by turning the SMART control knob. Rotate clockwise to increase the rotation speed and counterclockwise to decrease the rotation speed. The cooking temperature can be adjusted using the SMART control knob Press the SMART control knob until a small line appears in the middle of the screen. While pressing the SMART control knob, rotate clockwise for the elevation mechanism to move up or rotate counterclockwise for the elevation mechanism to move down.Features
- Manual control.
- Rotations is 360 degrees and continuous.
- Temperature adjustment is achieved by manually controlling the elevation of the rotisserie mechanism.
You can control
- Rotation Speed.
- Cooking temperature by adjusting the height.
- Step Mode
Set the step time (for how long the cooking accessories will remain still until the next rotation) by turning the SMART control knob clockwise. Adjust the rotation angle by rotating the SMART control knob counterclockwise. The cooking temperature can be adjusted using the SMART control knob Press the SMART control knob until a small line appears in the middle of the screen. While pressing the SMART control knob, rotate clockwise for the elevation mechanism to move up or rotate counterclockwise for the elevation mechanism to move down.Features
- Manual control.
- Rotation range from 10º-180º (in steps of 10º).
- Step Time from 5 up to 240 seconds (in steps of 5 sec).
- Temperature adjustment is achieved by manually controlling the elevation of the rotisserie mechanism.
You can control
- Rotation angle.
- Step time.
- Cooking temperature by adjusting the height.
- Automatic Mode
The SMART Cooking System includes pre-installed dynamic recipes with icons for different types of food like steaks, burgers, chicken, fish, kebab etc. The SMART Cooking System constantly monitors and analyses, via the embedded temperature sensor, the heat emitted from the burning coals to the food being cooked and automatically controlling and adjusting the electrical mechanisms of the grill in real time. It changes the distance of the food from the coals and simultaneously determines the speed and type of rotation. These changes are dynamic and continuously modified.Features
- Rotation angle is automatically set based on the selected recipe.
- Rotation speed is dynamically adjusted based on the target temperature and actual current temperature reading of the temperature sensor.
- Step time is dynamically adjusted based on the target temperature and actual current temperature reading of the temperature sensor.
- Cooking level is automatically set based on the target temperature.
You can control
- Nothing! Everything is automated and controlled by the SMARTTM Cooking System.
Step 4 – Cooking
Finally, place the cooking accessories with food on the rotisserie mechanism. Then place the SMART temperature sensor probe between the cooking accessories with the sensor tip at the lowest position of the food being cooked. You’re done!
Note: Be sure that the probe does not touch the food, and there is space between them.
