1. Usage and safety in
accordance with regulations
The Audiotherm serves to monitor or control the
cooking process. The Audiotherm is to be used
only for this purpose.
Improper usage could lead to danger.Observe
and follow the user manual –particularly the details
in this chapter.Besides, it is definitely required –
depending on usage –toobserve the user
manuals of “Visiotherm”,“Secuquick softline”
or “Navigenio”.
Suitable pots and accesories
§AMC-lid with appropriateVisiotherm
§Secuquick softline withVisiotherm S
§Navigenio
Avoiding damages, avoiding improper
usage
§Do not use the Audiotherm in the baking
oven and do not expose to temperatures
of over 70 °C.
§Do not put in the dishwasher.
Monitoring
§The cooking process must be monitored.
If the Audiotherm is used for audible
monitoring of the cooking process, you
must be within hearing distance.
§Unsupervised, uncontrolled cooking can
lead to overheating. The dishes can be
ruined, the pot can be damaged or
destroyed. Danger of accident and fire.
§The appliance can be used by children
of 8years or moreorby people with
reduced physical, sensoryormental
abilities or alack of experience or
knowledge, if they aremonitored or
instructed regarding the safe usage of the
appliance and understand the dangers
that result from it.

Maintenance and care
Maintain and carefor the Audiotherm regularly
so that function and safety areguaranteed.
§Remove residue from leaked batteries in the
batterycompartment (wear protective gloves).
Disposal
The Audiotherm does not belong in the household
garbage, the material is reusable. When necessary,
dispose in an environmentally appropriatemanner
and in accordance with local regulations (dispose at
acollection point for recycling of electronic applian-
ces).

2.2 Functions
The Audiotherm serves –ininteraction with a
Visiotherm of an AMC lid or aSecuquick softline
with Visiotherm S–asanaid to monitoring the
cooking process.
Audible monitoring of temperature
With abeep, the Audiotherm signals
§when the heating temperatureisreached
§or when during cooking, the temperaturerises
toohigh or falls toolow and the level setting
must be changed accordingly.
Audible monitoring of cooking time
With abeep, the Audiotherm signals the end of
cooking time.
Controlling of the entirecooking process
with the Navigenio in hotplate-function
The Audiotherm regulates the output of the
Navigenio automatically to the specifications of
the Visiotherm or the Visiotherm S(Secuquick
softline). To this end, the Navigenio establishes
radio contact with the Audiotherm. If acooking
time is entered, the Navigenio automatically
switches to the “keep-warm” function at the end
of cooking time.
The cooking procedureisthe same as described
in the user manuals of “Visiotherm” and “Secuquick
softline” as well as in the AMC-cookbook or in
the recipe section.
TimerAutomatic with the Navigenio in
overhead function
The Audiotherm switches o the Navigenio
automatically, when the set cooking time is over.
Requires Audiotherm A8200 and Navigenio C8100.
Beeps of the Audiotherm
With beeps, the Audiotherm draws attention when,
depending on the application, particular temperature
values arereached which requirethe action of
the user.

of temperaturefor the visually challenged. The
function can be cancelled by repeating the steps
described above.
Fit Audiotherm on the Visiotherm or Visiotherm S.
With the help of dierent beeps, one can know
if the energy should be reduced or increased.
§Beep to reduce energy: 2-time quick repetitive
beeps.
§Beep to increase energy: 2-time slow repetitive
beeps.
§Beep for end of cooking time: five single

with Navigenio
(Automatic)
Please ensuretofollow the user manual
of “AMC Navigenio” as well.
The Audiotherm can control the Navigenio auto-
matically according to the settings of the Visiotherm
(normal AMC lid) or of the Visiotherm S(Secuquick
softline). Forthis, the Navigenio makesradio contact
with the Audiotherm for exchange of data.
The handling of the Audiotherm and the sequence
of the cooking process arethe same as described
in the chapters 5, 6and 7orinthe user manual of
“AMC Secuquick softline”.
Youdon’t have to regulatethe power levels
manually any more, the Audiotherm regulates
the energy input of the Navigenio automatically.
§The Audiotherm constantly asks for the
Visiotherm-temperature. The flashing of the blue
power sign shows that data is being sent and
received.
§If the radio contact between the Navigenio
and the Audiotherm is disrupted during the
automatic cooking:
•The Audiotherm beeps.
