follow these steps:

• Open Settings

• Tap Bluetooth

• Set Bluetooth to On

• While turned on, place your iGrill2 next to your smart device
and open the iDevices Connected app. Your smart device will

Mounting

• The iGrill2‘s base is magnetic for convenient positioning on a cool
portion of your grill, smoker or other magnetic surfaces.

7

• The iGrill2 can be taken out of its base, rotated 180° and set back
into its base for two different viewing angles.

• The iGrill2 comes with an optional magnetic disc with an adhesive
on one side. This allows the iGrill2 to magnetically mount to a non­magnetic surface. The magnetic disc has a protective cover on its
face to protect it from being scratched.

To mount your magnetic disc, please follow the below steps:

• Clean the surface thoroughly where the magnetic disc will be
adhered to ensure proper bonding.

• Remove the lm covering the adhesive on the magnetic disc.

• Adhere the magnetic disc to your desired surface.

• Let the magnetic disc bond to the surface for 6-12 hours before
mounting your iGrill2 to the disc.

• Place your iGrill2 on the magnetic disc.

The magnetic base is not designed to withstand high heat
and it must be placed on a cool surface. If the surface is too
hot to touch, it’s too hot for the iGrill2 base!

Probe Use

• Pro Meat Probe and Pro Ambient Probe Acceptable Temperature

Range: -22°F to 620°F (-30ºC to 326ºC)

• Meat Probe Acceptable Temperature Range: -22ºF to 572ºF (-30ºC
to 300ºC).

• The Meat Probes should always be inserted into the center of the
item being cooked for an accurate temperature reading.

• When using a standard Meat Probe, be sure to route the probe wire

where it will not be exposed to ames or temperatures exceeding

8

572° (300ºC). Pro Meat Probes may be exposed to temperatures as
high as 620ºF (326ºC).

• The Pro Ambient Probe should be clipped between two grates
inside your grill, smoker or oven. Ensure the tip of the probe does
not touch the grates.

• The probe wraps allow for convenient storage of your probes and
are magnetic so that they can be stored under your iGrill2 when not
in use.

The colored probe indicators are for visual identication of

the probe(s) within the app and cosmetic purposes only.
They are not designed for heat safety.

The probes should be cleaned by hand with a dishcloth,
standard dishwashing soap and warm water. The probes are
not dishwasher safe. Take precaution not to get the probe’s
wiring wet.

Be sure to avoid water exposure to the probes’ wiring as
well as the area where the probes’ wiring meets the probes.
The probes are not waterproof and damage may result from
water exposure. The probes should never be submersed in
water.

Temperatures below -22°F or above 572°F (-30ºC or above
300ºC) will not display in the iDevices Connected app and
will cause the probe to disappear from connection.

Probe Wrap Use

To wrap your probe(s):

• Hold the probe wrap so that the clip segment is on the bottom left
and the iDevices logo is legible in the center of the probe wrap.

• Snap the probe into the probe wrap’s clip, ensuring that the probe’s
body follows the contour of the probe wrap and leaves a ½ inch gap
between the probe and the wire channel of the probe wrap. The tip
of the probe should be pointed downward.

9

• Wrap your probe’s wire clockwise around the probe wrap.

• When you reach the adapter end of the probe wire, it can be
inserted into the probe wrap’s wire channel to secure the wrapping.

Probe Toggle Buttons

10

The iGrill2 has two buttons adjacent to the power button to toggle
between probes when there is more than one probe connected.

• Pressing the < or > button will switch from the currently displayed
probe temperature (as indicated by the illuminated probe indicator
LED) to the next probe.

• Holding either the < or > button down for one second will activate
a cycle that will continuously cycle through displaying each probe’s
temperature.

• Pressing the <, >, or power button while the alternating display
cycle is activated will disable the display cycle.

Proximity Sensor

The use of Bluetooth Smart allows the iGrill2 to sense when a paired smart
device moves in or out of range. The iGrill2 will automatically wake and

sleep at the below distances to conserve power:

• Sleep ~ 30 feet away

• Wake ~ 5 feet away

*Proximity function based on Bluetooth signal strength. Signal strength
is inuenced by a number of factors including the smart device
and environment.

temperature or below the low temperature.

Creating a custom preset alarm:

• Tap “Set Preset”

12

• Tap “Create New”

• Name your preset

• Set temperature(s)

• Tap “Save”

Your custom preset will be saved in the “My Peak Presets”
and “My Range Presets” sections of the alarm screen.

The iDevices Connected app will not display temperatures
below -22°F (-30ºC) or above 572°F (300ºC).

When your target temperature has been reached, the iGrill2
will produce an audible tone and the iDevices Connected

app alarm will alert you with a notication.

When a temperature reading goes outside your target
range, the iGrill2 will produce an audible tone and it’s display
will blink the current temperature as the iDevices Connected
app alarm alerts you.

Renaming Probes

A probe can be renamed by tapping on the “Probe #” to the left of the

running temperature, then:

look at what other cooks around the world have made to ignite ideas for
your next cooking adventure!

*You will only show up on the Globe if you share via Facebook.

Graph Tool

The iDevices Connected app’s Graph Tool illustrates the temperature
progression over time for your probe as you cook.

Tap on the graph to get a more detailed look of your cook. Below the

graph, tap “More”. You will see options to export the graph as a CSV le
