area! Handle and cord of the temperature probe may never touch hot surfaces (e.g. grilling
area). Otherwise, the temperature probe will be damaged. Only insert the metal tip of the
temperature probe into your food for measuring the temperature.
Do not leave the temperature probe in your food, while closing the lid, to avoid damage
to the temperature probe.
Using the temperature probe, you can operate the appliance in two additional ways:
•
Measurement:
When switching to probe mode, the temperature probe is used for
measuring the actual core temperature. This is the temperature in the centre of your food
on the grill. The temperature at the tip of the temperature probe is shown on the screen,
indicated via the probe icon. However, when in probe mode, you can activate the con-
trol function (see below). The actual temperature is given with an accuracy of 1° (see
also: ´Modes of Operation`).
•
Control function:
You can select the desired core temperature (target temperature) of
your food. As soon as the temperature probe detects the selected temperature, a beep
sounds.
Measuring the Core Temperature with the Temperature Probe
1. Prepare the appliance as described in section ´Preparations`. Switch on the appliance
and set the desired temperature for the grilling area, using the temperature dial (see:
´Cooking Your Food`). Place your food on the grilling area, as soon as the grilling area
has reached the set temperature, and the heating indicator illuminates.
IMPORTANT:
As soon as you switch ON the control unit, the appliance starts heating and
the grilling area is getting hot.
2. Insert the plug of the temperature probe in the connector at the control unit.
3. Press the mode button.
The probe icon appears on the screen and the actual temperature at the probe tip will be
shown on the display.
NOTE:
The appliance will detect, whether the probe plug is in place. If not, the display
will alternate between “RAC” and “CAP”. The probe icon on the screen will flash. If you do
not insert the probe plug within 30 seconds, the appliance will go back to normal mode.
WARNING:
Please keep in mind that the food on the grill could splash and hot steam
could escape. Ensure not to touch hot surfaces with your hand. Protect your hands with oven
gloves. Also, do not place the temperature probe on the grilling area. The temperature pro-
be measures the temperature only at the tip. The handle and cable of the temperature probe
do not withstand high temperatures.
4. Put the tip of the probe into the food and wait for approx. 10 seconds. Then read the
actual temperature on the display.
5. After measuring the temperature, place the temperature probe back into the probe site
at the right side of the housing. Do not leave the temperature probe on the grilling area.
NOTE:
If you wish to change the set temperature of the grilling area, you must switch back
to normal mode first. By turning the temperature dial in probe mode, you activate the con-
trol function and change the target temperature as described below.
