FAQ

TempASSURED Technology™ is Vida by PADERNO's patent-pending cooking system. It brings together traditional grilling, with the precision control of an oven.

TempASSURED Technology™ is a dual-mode design that allows you to set and maintain a specific temperature using Oven Mode, or enjoy traditional grilling in BBQ Mode.

When in Oven Mode, ensure the lighting burner control knobs are set to the #10 setting/max. position. If the problem persists, please contact Vida by PADERNO customer support.

The middle burners(burner #2 and burner #3) will not function in Oven Mode. Both burners have a thermocouple and safety shut-off valve that will restrict the use of both middle burners when the TempASSURED Technology™ control knob is in the Oven Mode position.

Only the outside burners will ignite in Oven Mode in order to maintain lower temperatures for slow cooking, and to allow for offset cooking in the middle of the grill

TempASSURED Technology™ controls the temperature of the cooking surface. The lid mounted thermometer provides a good reference, but will not provide the exact temperature of the cooking surface.

If the lid mounted thermometer and the temperature selected on the TempASSURED Technology™ control dial do not align when in Oven Mode, the setting selected on the TempASSURED Technology™ control dial should be referred to for an accurate temperature reading. For optimal performance, set the appropriate burner control knobs to the #10 setting/max. position in Oven Mode.

It is recommended that you season your cooking grates before the first use, and re-season often for a slick, non-stick surface. Seasoning the cooking grates also helps to protect them from moisture and rust.
