Food probe

Using the wireless food probe enables the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

How the food probe works

The metal tip of the food probe is inserted into the food. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking. The rise in the core temperature reflects the extent to which the food is cooked.

You can programme the core temperature to be lower or higher, depending on whether you want your meat to be medium or well done.

The core temperature can be set within a range of 30 to 99 °C. Refer to the Roasting chart in the User instruction booklet for the core temperature range applicable for different types of meat.

The core temperature is pre-programmed into the automatic programmes.

The rise in the core temperature can be followed in the display once the heating-up phase has finished and the core temperature has risen above 15°C.

The cooking programme will stop automatically once the core temperature you have set for the food has been reached.

The core temperature value is transmitted by radio signal from the food probe handle to a receiver in the back panel.

Accurate transmission is only possible when the door is shut.

If the oven door is opened during the cooking programme, e.g. to baste the meat, then the radio signal is interrupted. It will resume once the door has been closed. It will take a few seconds for the current core temperature to show up in the display again.

If the food probe is not being used, it must not be left in the oven during a cooking programme. The temperature sensor will be destroyed at temperatures over 100°C.

For this reason, the food probe should be replaced in its holder in the door when it is not being used. It will not be damaged when it is inserted into the food, as it is only possible to select core temperatures between 30°C and 99°C.
