Meat Probe (Main Oven only)

The meat probe is a feature which will control the cooking of meat by informing you of the exact temperature at the centre of the meat. It is not necessary to weigh the meat, the sensor determines the cooking time. The cooking time will be influenced by the cooking temperature.

The probe consists of a skewer like sensor at one end of a heat resistant cable, and a plug at the other end.

Only use the meat probe supplied with the oven or an original spare part.

1) First raise the meat probe socket cover (1), which is located in the top of the left hand

side of the oven and plug the probe connecting pin into its socket (2).

2)Insert the probe sensor into the centre of the meat, taking care to avoid touching any bone or pockets of fat as this will give a fal- se temperature reading.

3)Place the meat, in a suitable tin, into the oven cavity.

4)To select the Meat Probe function press the

"Probe Temp." button. The display will show the pre-set temperature of 60°C and

the C symbol will flash for about 8 seconds.

5)Then select the finished internal meat tem- perature by pressing buttons + or -. Check

the recommended temperatures in the roasting chart for meat probe function.

6)Select the required cooking function by

pressing button .

i

Not all the cooking functions allow the use of

the probe (see next page). If you have selected

 

 

an incorrect function, the probe symbol will

 

flash red. For a correct function, the symbol

 

will flash white.

7)The probe will then continue to register the internal meat temperature throughout the cooking period and convey the information to the programmer. The programmer will give a visual read-out as cooking continues, and switch off the oven when the selected temperature has been reached.

8)Press the "OFF" button to turn the oven off.

9)Open the oven door and remove the probe from the meat, then remove the probe from the socket.

iAs poultry is a difficult shape with a great deal of bone it is difficult to register a correct finish tem-

perature. Please ensure it is cooked thoroughly.

Do not submerge the meat probe in water, just wipe with a clean damp cloth.

Remove the meat probe after use.

Do not leave the meat probe in the oven when cooking other items.

If the oven has just been previously used i and the interior is hot, it may not be

possible to use the meat probe. In that case, upon selection of the Meat Probe

function the symbol will come on. Remove the meat probe from the oven and after a few minutes the Technical assistance symbol will disappear. You can either cook the meat without the probe or wait until the interior temperature of the oven has dropped down to 60°C.
