Food probe

How the food probe works

The tip of the probe is pushed into the centre of the meat where it measures the core temperature continuously.

The core temperature set will depend on the how well you want the meat cooked (i.e. rare or well done) and also the type of meat. A temperature within a range of 30 °C to 99 °C can be set.

The cooking duration will depend on the temperature in the oven compartment and the thickness of the meat. The higher the temperature and the thinner the meat, the quicker the set core temperature will be reached.

The cooking process will finish automatically when the core temperature of the meat reaches the value set for the food probe. Exception: The combination mode will involve another cooking step, e.g. browing the meat.

The core temperature value is transmitted by radio signal from the food probe handle to the receiver in the top heating element.

Accurate transmission is only possible when the door is shut. Opening the door during cooking, e.g. to baste meat, interrupts the radio signal. It will resume once the door has been closed. It will take a few seconds for the current core temperature to show 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 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 a core temperature up to 99 °C.
