Using the Meat Probe
(Main Oven only)
The meat probe is a feature which will control the
cooking of meat by informing you of the exact
temperature at the centre of the meat. It is not
necessary to weigh the meat, the sensor determines
the cooking time. However, the cooking time is
obviously influenced by the cooking temperature.
The probe consists of a skewer like sensor at one end
of a heat resistant cable, and a plug at the other end.
Use only the meat probe supplied with the
oven or an original spare part.

How to Use the Meat Probe
1. First raise the meat probe cover (1), which is located
in the top of the left hand side of the oven and plug
the probe connecting pin into its socket (2).
2. Insert the probe sensor into the centre of the meat,
taking care to avoid touching any bone or pockets
of fat as this will give a false temperature reading.
3. Place the meat, in a suitable tin, into the oven
cavity.
As poultry is a difficult shape with a great deal of
bone it is difficult to register a correct finish
temperature, please ensure it is cooked
thoroughly.
4. Then select the internal meat temperature (see
roasting chart) by depressing button , and
simultaneously turning the temperature setting dial
until the correct temperature is displayed. Release
the
button, a light above will illuminate to
show that the programme has been accepted. The
light and the temperature will be displayed in red.
5. Select the required cooking function and
temperature.
6. When the selected temperature has been reached
the digits in the display will start to flash and an
audible signal will sound for two minutes.
7. Turn the oven and thermostat control knobs to the
off position.
8. Open the oven door and remove the probe from
the meat, then remove the probe from the socket
and replace the safety plug. When the probe is
removed from the display digits and cursor light
go out ant the oven automatically returns to
manual operation.
