Roasting

Food probe

The wireless food probe enables the
roasting process to be monitored
simply and reliably.

How the food probe works

The metal tip of the food probe must be
fully inserted into the centre of the food.
It contains a temperature sensor. This
measures the so-called core
temperature inside the food during the
cooking process.
The temperature sensor is located
approx. 2 cm behind the tip of the
probe. Push the metal tip into the food
so that the temperature sensor is in
the middle (see "Important information
for using the food probe").
The rise in the core temperature of the
food reflects the progress of cooking.
Set a lower or higher core temperature,
depending on whether you want your
roast to be medium or well-done.
The core temperature can be set up to
99 °C. Information on food and
respective core temperatures can be
found in the roasting chart and in "Low
temperature cooking".

Cooking processes with or without the
food probe take the same amount of
time.
Transmission of the core temperature to
the oven electronics occurs via radio
signal between the transmitter in the
handle of the probe and the receiver
antenna in the back panel, as soon as
you place the food in the oven with the
food probe inserted.
Efficient radio transmission is only
guaranteed if the oven door is closed. If
the door is opened during a cooking
process, e.g. to baste the food, radio
signal transmission is interrupted. It will
only resume when the door is closed. It
will take a few seconds before the
current core temperature appears again
in the display.
The temperature sensor will be
damaged at temperatures over
100 °C. However there is no
danger of damage occurring if it is
inserted into food as the maximum
core temperature that can be set
is 99 °C.
If you are not using the wireless food
probe, do not keep it in the oven
during cooking. Always put it back
into the holder in the Gourmet
warming drawer.
