There are two temperatures to set:
• The oven temperature
• The core temperature
Only use the core temperature
sensor supplied or the correct re-
placement parts.
Using the core temperature sensor:
1. Put the tip of the core temperature
sensor into the centre of the meat.
2. Activate the appliance.

ferent for the different quantities of
the food, the set oven temperatures
(minimum 120 °C) and the operating
modes. The appliance calculates the
end time in approximately 30 mi-
nutes.
