Using the core temperature sensor

The core temperature sensor measures the core temperature of the meat.

There are two temperatures to be set:

The oven temperature. Refer to the table for roasting.
The core temperature. Refer to the table for the core temperature sensor.

CAUTION: Only use the core temperature sensor supplied with the appliance or genuine replacement parts.

Put the plug of the core temperature sensor into the socket on the top of the cavity.
- The indicator for the core temperature sensor flashes.
Put the point of the core temperature sensor into the centre of the meat.
Press the button + or – to set the core temperature. You can set the temperature from 30 °C to 99 °C.
Set the oven function and the oven temperature.
- When the meat is at the set core temperature, an acoustic signal sounds for two minutes. Press a button to stop the signal.
Deactivate the appliance.
Remove the plug of the core temperature sensor from the socket. Remove the meat from the appliance.

If the meat is not cooked to your satisfaction, do the above steps again and set a higher core temperature. You can change the temperature at any time during the cooking. Press to change the set core temperature.

WARNING!

Be careful when you remove the tip and plug of the core temperature sensor. The core temperature sensor is hot. There is a risk of burns.

Inserting accessories

A small indentation at the top increases safety. The indentations are also anti-tip devices. The high rim around the shelf prevents cookware from slipping of the shelf.

Wire shelf

Push the shelf between the guide bars of the shelf support and make sure that the feet point down.

Baking tray / Deep pan

Push the tray between the guide bars of the shelf support.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Cooling fan

When the appliance operates, the cooling fan turns on automatically to keep the surfaces of the appliance cool.
If you turn off the appliance, the cooling fan can continue to operate until the appliance cools down.

Safety thermostat

Incorrect operation of the oven or defective components can cause dangerous overheating.
To prevent this, the oven has a safety thermostat which interrupts the power supply. The oven turns on again automatically when the temperature drops.

HINTS AND TIPS

Refer to Safety chapters.

Cooking recommendations

The oven has five shelf positions.
Count the shelf positions from the bottom of the oven floor.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before.

Baking cakes

Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the set cooking time is up.
If you use two baking trays at the same time, keep one empty level between them.

Cooking meat and fish

Use a deep pan for very fatty food to prevent the oven from stains that can be permanent.
Leave the meat for approximately 15 minutes before carving so that the juice does not seep out.
To prevent too much smoke in the oven during roasting, add some water into the deep pan. To prevent the smoke condensation, add water each time after it dries up.

Cooking times

Cooking times depend on the type of food, its consistency, and volume.
Initially, monitor the performance when you cook. Find the best settings (heat setting, cooking time, etc.) for your cookware, recipes and quantities when you use this appliance.

Moist Fan Baking – recommended accessories

Use the dark and non-reflective tins and containers. They have better heat absorption than the light colour and reflective dishes.
