Tips cookingSensor
¡ The wireless cooking sensor measures the temper-
ature of the liquid through the silicone base at-
tached to the container. To ensure correct measure-
ment, the silicone base must be completely covered
by the liquid to be measured.
¡ The frame of the wireless cooking sensor and the
silicone base fitted on the cookware must be com-
pletely dry before you can start cooking.
¡ Do not remove the wireless cooking sensor during
cooking. After cooking, remove the sensor carefully
as the sensor may be hot.
¡ To save energy, use a lid.
¡ Position the cookware in such a way that the wire-
less cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer
side of the hob.
¡ To prevent overheating, never align the cooking
sensor to any other hot cookware.
