Food Probe; How The Food Probe Works - Miele H 5981 BP Operating And Installation Instructions

Food probe

Using the wireless food probe enables
the temperature during the cooking
process to be monitored simply and
reliably.

How the food probe works

The metal tip of the food probe is
inserted into the food. There is a
temperature sensor in the metal tip
which measures the core temperature
of the food during cooking. The rise in
the core temperature reflects the extent
to which the food is cooked.
You can programme the core
temperature to be lower or higher,
depending on whether you want your
meat to be rare, medium or well done.
The core temperature can be set within
a range of 30 to 99 °C. Refer to the
Roasting chart in the User instruction
booklet for the core temperature range
applicable for different types of meat.
The core temperature is pre-
programmed into the automatic
programmes.
Once the core temperature is higher
than 20°C, and the heating-up phase
has finished, the rise in the core
temperature can be seen in the display.
The cooking programme will stop
automatically once the core
temperature you have set for the food
has been reached. The duration of a
cooking programme is approx. the
same, whether or not the food probe is
being used.

The core temperature value is
transmitted by radio signal from the
food probe handle to a receiver in the
back panel when the food with the food
probe inserted is placed in the oven.
Accurate transmission is only possible
when the door is shut.
If the oven door is opened during the
cooking programme, e.g. to baste the
meat, then the radio signal is
interrupted. 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 in
the door 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 core temperatures
between 30°C and 99°C.
