Using DualZone™ Technology (without the Foodi® Smart Thermometer) Smart Finish Cooking 2 foods using 2 different functions, temps, or cook times? Program each zone and use SMART FINISH to have both zones finish at the same time. STEP 1: Program Zone 1 • Place food in baskets. • The unit defaults to Zone 1. • Select a cooking function (e.g., AIR FRY). STEP 2: Set Time & Temperature •U se the TEMP arrows to set the temperature. • Use the TIME arrows to set the time.
Using Two Zones Want to shorten cook time, but don't need both zones to finish at the same time? When Smart Finish or Match Cook are not selected, technology is integrated into the design to automatically optimize the distribution of power when manually selecting two zones with different cook times. This means the food in the zone with the longer cook time may finish cooking before the set time ends. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.
Pausing and Ending Cook Times Pausing Time in a Single Zone (While Both Zones Are Running) STEP 1: Pausing a Single Zone • Select the zone you want to pause (e.g., Zone 1). • Press the START/PAUSE button to pause cooking. READY TO START COOKING? Learn how to make complete meals that are done at the same time. NOTE: In SMART FINISH mode, we recommend pressing the START/PAUSE button to pauseboth zones.
