You can change the set core temperature at any time.

Once the set core temperature is reached, a signal sounds. Cooking is automatically ended. Confirm with

and set the function selector to 0.

Notes

The measurable range is 59 to 210° F (15 to 99°C). Outside the measurable range, "--°F" is displayed for the current core temperature.

If you leave the food in the cooking compartment for some time after cooking, the core temperature will continue to rise somewhat due to the residual heat in the cooking compartment.

If at the same time you adjust a programming with the core temperature probe and the cooking time timer, then the programming switches the device off that reaches the specified value first.

Changing the core temperature set:

Touch the + symbol. Use the rotary selector to change the set core temperature for the food and confirm with +.

Deleting the core temperature set:

Touch the + symbol. Delete the set core temperature with Ž. The appliance continues heating in normal cooking mode.

Core temperature guidelines

Use chilled food only, not frozen food. The details given in the table are guidelines. Results depend on the quality and composition of the food.

For hygiene reasons, critical foodstuffs such as fish and game should reach a core temperature of 143 - 158° F (62 – 70 °C); for poultry and minced meat this should be as high as 176 - 185° F (80 – 85 °C).
