Tips for using the food probe
• To avoid burns, use a kitchen glove to fit and remove the probe when the oven is hot.
• Always remove the probe using the grip. Removing it by pulling the cable may
cause damage.
• The probe is not enabled for all functions, for example the probe cannot be used when
using the recipe function. If the probe is fitted during a function it is not enabled for, a
removal message will appear on the display.
• If the probe is accidentally removed during cooking, a warning message will
appear on the display.
• The temperature of the probe can be set between 40°C and 100°C. The oven will save
the last temperature set by the user.
• The internal temperature of meat will continue to rise by a few degrees after you have
removed it from the oven, so allow for this in your calculations. After cooking, cover and
let the meat rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• When cooking meat, insert the probe horizontally into the centre of the thickest part.
The thicker the meat, the longer it will take to cook, so it is important that the probe is
measuring the temperature of the meat at its thickest point. Make sure the probe does
not touch bone, fat or gristle, as these will heat up more quickly than the lean meat.
Internal temperatures and food safety
• Ensure meat is fully defrosted before cooking.
• Rest meat after cooking to allow the internal temperature to continue to rise.
• For food safety, high risk foods such as fish should reach a minimum internal
temperature of 63°C and poultry and minced meat should reach 75°C.
Before turning on the oven
The probe socket is located in the upper left corner of the oven cavity, protected by a
metal cover.
Remove the cover and store in a safe place while cooking. This will need to be reinserted
for other cooking functions.
