3.8 Core temperature sensorUsing the core temperature sensor (top oven only),during the cooking process you can measure thecore temperature of the food you are preparingexactly between 1 °C and 99 °C. The sensormeasures the temperature in the interior of themeat. It indicates when the set core temperaturehas been reached and the meat has been cookedto satisfaction.The core temperature sensor– enables exact cooking to the spot.– prevents overcooking of roasts.– provides you with a display of the actualtemperature for total control of the cookingprocess.Proceed as follows:– Preheat the oven.– Insert the cooking insert with the food.– Insert the core temperature sensor in the front leftsocket in the oven. (Fig. 41)Caution: The side panels are hot. Use a glove.– Insert the tip of the core temperature sensor inthe middle of the food, at its thickest point; not inthe middle in the case of poultry (hollow), butbetween the belly and the thigh.The measuring tip must not touch any bones andshould not be inserted into fatty tissue.– Close the oven door.– Press the + key. The (Core temperature sensor)symbol flashes and the suggested value of 60 °Cappears on the display. (Fig. 42)– You can enter a value between 1 °C and 99 °C(see table) by pressing the + and – keys.– Press the (Confirmation) key to confirm theentered value. An audible signal is sounded.2450Fig. 41Fig. 42Note:You cannot set a temperature on the coretemperature sensor which is lower than the actualcore temperature of the food you are preparing.If you set programming with the core temperaturesensor and the timer at the same time, theprogramming that reaches the entered value firstwill switch off the oven.It is not possible to program a short time while thecore temperature sensor is plugged in.
