Important notes on use
To ensure the food probe works
correctly, please observe the following
instructions.
The metal tip of the food probe can
break.
Do not use the wireless food probe
to lift or carry the food.
– Do not use deep, narrow, metal
cooking containers, as these will
weaken the radio signal.
– For wireless food probes, avoid
placing metal objects above them,
such as a lid, aluminium foil or the
rack or the universal tray on the shelf
levels above. Glass lids may be used.
– Do not use another standard metal
cooking thermometer at the same
time.
– Do not allow the handle of the food
probe to sit in any sauce or cooking
liquid, or to rest on the food or on the
edge of the cooking container.
– You can place the meat in a pot or on
the rack.
– The metal tip of the food probe must
be fully inserted into the centre of the
food so that the temperature sensor
reaches more or less to the core. The
handle should point diagonally
upwards and not horizontally towards
the corners of the oven or the door.
– When cooking poultry, insert the
metal tip into the thickest part of the
breast. You can find the thickest part
of the breast by pressing the area
with your thumb and index finger.
– The metal tip must not touch any
bone or be inserted in areas with a lot
of fat. Heavily marbled areas and
bones can cause cooking to end
prematurely.
– If the meat is very heavily marbled
with fat, select the highest core
temperature given in the cooking
charts.
– When using aluminium foil or roasting
bags, insert the food probe through
the foil/bag into the centre of the
food. You can also place meat inside
the bag or foil with the food probe
already inserted. Follow the roasting
bag manufacturer's instructions.
– The food probe can only be inserted
horizontally into flat food, e.g. fish.
Therefore place flat food in a glass or
ceramic cooking container, as the
walls of a metal container would
disturb the radio signals.
If the food probe is no longer
recognised during cooking, a message
will appear in the display. Reposition
the food probe in the food.
