7.6 Hints and Tips for the Food
Sensor
For functions such as Assisted
Cooking and Sous Vide, you can
use the Food Sensor on the left
side of the hob only. With the
Thermometer function you can
use the Food Sensor also on the
right side of the hob.
To ensure strong connection ( , )
between the Food Sensor and the hob:
For liquids
• Immerse the Food Sensor in the liquid,
within the recommended immersion
range. The minimum level mark has to be
covered.
• Place the Food Sensor on the rim of the
pot. If possible, keep it in the vertical
position. Make sure its tip comes into
contact with the bottom of the pot. The
handle of the Food Sensor should always
be outside of the pot or pan.
• If you want to use the Food Sensor on the
left side of the hob, ensure that it is near
the centre of the hob, at 1 - 3 o'clock
position. If you want to use it on the right
(with the Thermometer function), make
sure it is placed at 9 - 11 o'clock position.
Refer to the illustrations below.
You can move the Food Sensor along the
rim of the pot if the connection fails to
establish.
• You can partially cover the pot with a lid.
• If you use the left front cooking zone, do
not place any large pots on the left rear
one. Large pots on the left rear cooking
zone may block the signal. Move the large
pot to the right rear cooking zone.
For solid foods (core temperature
measurement)
• Insert the Food Sensor across the thickest
part of the food, up to the minimum level
mark. The measurement point should be
in the central part of the portion.
• Make sure the Food Sensor is firmly
inserted in the food. The metal parts of
the Food Sensor should not touch the
walls of the pot / pan. The hook of the
handle has to point downwards.
