Improper use
Risk of damage to temperature
probe
• Do not pull the cord to remove the
temperature probe from the socket or
from the food.
• Make sure that the temperature probe
or its cord do not get caught in the door.
• Make sure that the temperature probe
or its cord do not come into contact with
heating elements inside the oven.
• No part of the temperature probe
should be allowed to come into contact
with the inside walls of the oven, the
heating elements, the racks or the trays
while they are still hot.
• The probe should not be stored inside
the appliance.
Temperature probe
Using the temperature probe allows roasts,
pork loin and various cuts and sizes of meat
to be cooked to perfection, even if
contained in plastic oven bags (suitable for
cooking) or wrapped in aluminum foil.
The temperature probe allows foods to be
cooked to perfection because it accurately
monitors the core temperature of the food,
which is measured by a sensor in the tip of
the probe.
Use
Positioning the temperature probe
1. Place the food on a tray.
2. Insert the tip of the probe into the food
before placing it in the oven.
In order to measure the core
temperature of the food
accurately, the tip of the probe
should not be in contact with
bones or fat.
For best results, make sure that the
temperature probe is inserted
transversely in the thickest part of
the food and by at least 3/4 of its
length. Make sure that it does not
touch the tray underneath and that
it does not protrude from the food.
