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 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 temperature sensor is located
approx. 2 cm from the tip. Insert the
food probe so that the temperature
sensor is positioned centrally (see
"Important notes about using the food
probe").
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.
A core temperature of up to 99 °C can
be set. Please refer to the Roasting
chart and "Low temperature cooking"
for the core temperatures applicable for
different types of meat.

The duration for roasting meat by
temperature using the probe is similar
to the duration when cooking by time.
The core temperature value is sent via a
signal from the transmitter in the handle
of the food probe via the antenna in the
back wall of the oven to the appliance's
electronic unit as soon as the food with
the food probe is placed in the oven.
Uninterrupted transmission of the signal
is only possible with the door shut. If
the oven door is opened during the
cooking programme, e.g. to baste the
meat, then the 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 up in
the display again.
The temperature sensor will be
destroyed at temperatures above
100 °C. As long as it remains
inserted in the food, there is no risk
of damage, since the maximum core
temperature setting 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 storage sleeve in the door.
