HOW TO USE: ACCESSORIES
8.3 Food Sensor
Food Sensor- measures the temperature inside the food.
There are two temperatures to be set:
The oven temperature.
The core temperature.
For the best cooking results:
Ingredients should be at
room temperature.
Do not use it for liquid
dishes.
During cooking it must remain in
the dish.
How to use: Food Sensor
Step 1 Turn on the oven.
Step 2 Set a heating function and, if necessary, the oven temperature.
Step 3 Insert: Food Sensor.
Meat, poultry and fish Casserole
Insert the tip of Food Sensor into the centre
of meat, fish, in the thickest part if possible.
Make sure that at least 3/4 of Food Sensor is
inside of the dish.
Insert the tip of Food Sensor exactly in the centre
of the casserole. Food Sensor should be stabi‐
lized in one place during baking. Use a solid in‐
gredient to achieve that. Use the rim of the bak‐
ing dish to support the silicone handle of Food
Sensor. The tip of Food Sensor should not touch
the bottom of a baking dish.
24/40
HOW TO USE: ACCESSORIES
Step 4 Plug Food Sensor into the socket at the front of the oven.
The display shows the current temperature of: Food Sensor.
Step 5
- press to set the core temperature of the sensor.
Step 6

to continue cooking to make sure the food is well done.
Step 7 Remove Food Sensor plug from the socket and remove the dish from the oven.
WARNING!
There is a risk of burns as Food Sensor becomes hot. Be careful
when you unplug it and remove it from the food.
