Food Probe; How The Food Probe Works - Miele H 5081 BP User 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 30–99°C. Please refer to the
Roasting chart for the core temperature
range applicable for different types of
meat.
The rise in the core temperature can be
followed in the display once this is more
than 20°C.
The cooking programme will stop
automatically once the core
temperature you have set for the food
has been reached.

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.
Opening the door during cooking, e.g.
to baste meat, interrupts the radio
signal. 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.
