THE AMC ELECTRIC PROBE
The AMC Electric Probe has two lights, a red light to indicate
whether the probe is switched on and a green light indicat-
ing the temperature.
Inserting the Probe
I
nsert the probe into the socket on the side of the unit.
Ensure the dial is set on the
Off
position. Insert the plug
into the electric wall outlet and switch on. The red light
on the probe will glow to indicate that there is a supply of
electricity, but the Electroroast® will not heat up.
Setting the Probe
Turn the dial to the required setting (from Simmer to 10),
depending on the food being prepared. The green light on
the probe will glow, to indicate that the unit is heating up.
The probe then controls the temperature to ensure that the
unit maintains the desired heat until the temperature setting
is changed manually. When you turn the probe to a lower
setting, the unit will start cooling down automatically until
the new desired temperature is reached. Use the Visiotherm®
as a guide to the temperature inside the unit while cooking.
Cooking on the
Simmer
setting
When cooking on the
Simmer
setting, it is important to
note that the probe controls the temperature by going
through a continuous cycle of switching on and off. Do not
increase the temperature if it appears that the food is no longer cooking. The probe will control the
temperature. Should you increase the temperature, the unit may become too hot and cause the
food to burn.
Removing the Probe
When the cooking process is complete, turn the probe to the
Off
position and remove the plug
from the electrical wall outlet. Remove food from the unit and allow the unit to cool.
Remove the probe from the socket. Store probe in a dry place.
The AMC 40 cm Electroroast® makes cooking a pleasure. With a capacity of 14.75 litres, this electrified unit is
very versatile and perfect for preparing a large amount of food, and then serving directly from the cookware.
Use it to roast, steam, braise, stew, poach, sauté or fry food. Please note: Don’t attempt to move this unit once
it is filled with food – it can be extremely heavy.
The 40 cm Electroroast® features the well-known AMC design, with its superb heat retention and distribution
abilities. Take this into consideration when cooking and don’t assume that higher temperatures are required
for this size cookware. Cooking over medium to low temperatures is still recommended. Once the base is hot
it will maintain its heat for a long period of time, even after the probe has been switched off. AMC’s waterless
and fat-free cooking methods still apply, so even when cooking on a larger scale you can do this in a healthy
manner. Remember to monitor the cooking temperature inside the unit by using the Visiotherm®.
Due to its size, the 40 cm Electroroast® may take slightly longer to heat up. A large volume of food will cook
for a longer period of time, but the probe will continue to maintain the desired temperature. As this unit is
electrified it will, despite its size, require less electricity than cooking the same amount of food in various
smaller units on the stove.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before using your AMC 40 cm Electroroast® for the first time, wash in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or
non-scratch sponge. The cookware should not be completely immersed in water. If the socket area does
come into contact with water, make sure that it is thoroughly dried before using again. The Electric Probe
must never be immersed in water, if necessary wipe clean with a damp cloth.
After use, clean the Electroroast® in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or non-scratch sponge. Dry
immediately to prevent watermarks from forming and to maintain the polished appearance. Don’t use
any abrasive cleaning materials as this will scratch the stainless steel. AMC Classic Cleaner, our cleaning
paste, is ideal for cleaning purposes. The inside and outside of the cookware must never be washed with a
scourer or hard sponge which could scratch the stainless steel.
