Notes
The meat thermometer measures the temperature
■
on the inside of the food between 30 °C and 99 °C.
Use only the meat thermometer supplied. You can
■
purchase it as a spare part from the after-sales
service.
After use, always remove the meat thermometer
■
from the cooking compartment. Never store it inside
the cooking compartment.
Cooking compartment temperature
To prevent damage to the meat thermometer, do not
set temperatures higher than 250 °C.
The interior temperature set in the cooking
compartment must be at least 10 °C higher than the
core temperature that has been set.

Inserting the meat probe into the food

Before placing your food into the cooking compartment,
insert the meat probe into the food.
The meat probe has three measuring points. Ensure
that the middle measuring point is inserted in the food.
Caution!
When you turn the microwave on, the tip of the meat
probe must be inserted in the food.

Meat: For large pieces of meat, insert the meat probe at
an angle from above as far as it will go into the meat.
For relatively thin pieces of meat, insert the meat probe
from the side at the thickest point.
Poultry: Insert the meat probe as far as it will go into
the thickest point in the breast. Insert the meat probe
into the poultry crossways or lengthways depending on
its structure. Then turn the poultry and place it on the
wire rack breast-side down.
Fish: Insert the meat probe behind the head as far as it
will go towards the spine. Place the whole fish onto the
wire rack and prop it up in the swimming position using
half a potato.
Turning the food: If you wish to turn the food, do not
remove the meat probe. Once you have turned the
food, check that the meat probe is correctly positioned
in the food.
If you remove the meat probe while the food is cooking,
all settings will be reset and you will have to apply them
again.
Caution!
Ensure that the meat probe's cable does not become
trapped.
Do not use ovenware with a lid.
To prevent the meat probe from being damaged by
excessive heat, there must be a gap of a few
centimetres between the grill element and the meat
probe. The meat may expand during the cooking
process.
