Using The Oven
The Roast Probe
The roast probe is inserted into the fleshiest part of a meat joint and plugged
into the socket in the oven compartment. The oven automatically turns off
when the temperature of the meat joint reaches your pre-set temperature
providing a carefree and simple method of cooking roasts.
WARNING: This mode of cooking is suitable only for Normal Oven,
Classic Bake, Fan Assist, Fan Forced or High Bake modes. Use of
the probe sensor in either Grill or Fan Grill modes may damage
the probe.
WARNING: DO NOT immerse the probe in water.
Using The Roast Probe
Plug The Roast Probe Into The Oven Socket
Insert the probe into the socket on the left hand wall. Once the
probe is plugged in, the timer will stop displaying current time.
Instead, the display will show two temperatures:
The left hand reading is the current probe temperature
The right hand reading is the pre-set temperature. When you
plug the probe into the socket, this automatically sets itself to
80ºC.
To Change The Preset Temperature
Use the v and ^ buttons to vary the temperature up and down. Although you can set the
temperature anywhere between 0ºC and 99ºC, the probe is accurate only up to 85ºC.
Insert The Probe Into The Roast
The tip of the probe must be placed into the fleshiest part of the meat joint to accurately sense the
meat temperature. Take note of the following:
The probe should not be allowed to touch or rest against bone or fat as these will reach different
temperatures than the flesh of the meat and may give inaccurate results.
When cooking loin or leg roasts, insert the probe from the round bone end.
If cooking thin or small roasts, insert the probe at an angle so that the meat supports it, with the tip
in the centre of the meat.
Do not remove the probe from the meat until the cooking process is complete.
When The Pre-Set Temperature Is Reached
When the roast probe senses the internal temperature of the meat has reached the pre-set
temperature, the alarm will sound and the oven will automatically turn off.
The alarm can be cancelled by pressing any of the 4 left-hand buttons. The alarm will also self cancel
after a few minutes.
Check the food. If cooking is complete, remove the probe from its socket and turn all controls off.
The digital display will revert to showing the time of day.
To Interrupt Roast Probe Cooking
To cancel the roast probe function, simply remove the roast probe from its socket (taking care if the
oven is hot).
Cleaning The Roast Probe
The probe should be cleaned after each use. See the Maintenance section later in this manual.
