Programmed cooking using the meat probe
With this programming mode, set the desired temperature in the
core of the food (e.g. chunk of meat). Settings between 30 and
99°C are possible.
The oven will operate until the core reaches the set
temperature. The temperature is measured by the temperature
probe.
Cooking with a probe is suitable for preparing large chunks
of meat, preferably without bones. Chicken and rabbit are not
appropriate for such mode of preparation.
Recommended core temperatures:
Pork roast
85°C
Beef roast
80 °C
Veal roast
75 °C
Tender loin (
fi
let mignon) 40-50 °C
Procedure of cooking meat with the probe:
• Insert the probe plug into the socket and stick the
probe into the peace of meat (or other food). The
socket is located in the front upper corner of the
left side wall. The probe contains a metal plug that
has to be removed before the cooking and replaced
afterwards.
• As soon as the probe is connected, the temperature
read by the probe is displayed on the timer, instead of
the clock.
• Use the on/o
ff
key to turn on the oven.
• Select the desired heating mode (K) and the
corresponding cooking temperature. We recommend
using the combination of upper and lower heater.
• Then, touch the (D1) key and use the (H) “+,
-
” keys to
set the temperature in the range from 30 to 99 °C; the
temperature can be set in 1°C steps.
• Con
fi
rm the setting by touching the (D1) key again;
if this is not done, the setting will be adopted
automatically after a few seconds.
• Press the (C) “start/stop” key to con
fi
rm all settings,
and the oven swill start operating.
• During cooking, rising temperature of the meat /
food core (i.e. probe temperature) is displayed the
entire time on the display (D2). As long as probe
temperature is lower than 30°C, “
-
-
” is displayed.
• During operation, cooking temperature may be
changed at any time; the same applies to meat probe
temperature. To do this, press the corresponding
display and use the (H) sensor keys to adjust the
values.
• When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven
stops operating. Probe temperature display will
fl
ash,
and an intermittent beep will sound which can be
cancelled by pressing any key; if no key is pressed,
the beeping stops after one minute.
• Turn
o
ff
the oven, remove the probe from the dish and
unplug it from the socket, and replace the metal plug.
NOTE!
Make sure the probe does not touch the heater
while the oven is in operation. Use only the probe
intended to be used with this type of oven.
Use of meat probe in combination with the timer
functions
(for experienced users)
When using the meat probe you may also set the
operation
time or the end of operation, as described in previous
paragraphs. But always remember:
• If you use the preset time operation mode (G) and
set the desired period, the oven will stop operating
when the time elapses, irrelevant of whether the
actual temperature of the food has reached the
preset temperature. Therefore the preset operation
time must always be somewhat longer that the
time necessary for food to reach the appropriate
temperature.
• The same procedure is identical for the end of
operation function mode (F).
• This combination is suggested once the user has
gained certain experience regarding the time required
for particular sort and quantity of food to be roasted
appropriately roasted at a preset temperature.
• According to these information gained with
experienced use, you may set the oven operation
time (G) somewhat longer than required, thereby
successfully using also the end of operation mode
(F).
