Probe C-N
(coking with core probe)
OPTIONAL
Suitable for cooking requiring a precise adjustment
and monitoring of the product core temperature;
temperature is controlled by a needle probe (TCK)
positioned inside the product. Cooking time is
determined by achieving the set temperature. For this
type of cooking, it is possible to select the holding
cycle (at 65°C) until the end of cooking, i.e. when the
product reaches the needle probe set temperature.
Then, the system requires entering the cooking
temperature (needle probe), the maximum
temperature reachable in the appliance bottom and if
the temperature holding cycle is to be enabled.
Probe C-S
(soft cooking with core probe)
OPTIONAL
It is suitable for the most delicate and slow cooking
methods requiring a precise adjustment and
monitoring of the product core temperature;
temperature is controlled by a needle probe (TCK)
positioned inside the product and the set difference in
temperature between the bottom and the inside of
product. For this type of cooking, it is possible to
select holding cycle (at 65°C) until the end of cooking,
i.e. when the product reaches the needle probe’s set
temperature. Then, the system requires entering the
cooking temperature (needle probe), the maximum
difference between product and appliance bottom and
if the temperature holding cycle is to be enabled.
5.2. BRAIZING
Select the desired cooking mode, in this case BRAIZING, then confirm by pressing

Time and temperature settings are the same as for braizing.
The temperature ranges from 20°C to 100°C.
5.4. DEEP-FRYING
Time and temperature settings are the same as for braizing.
The temperature ranges from 20°C to 195°C.
CAUTION!
For oil cooking cycles only enable the frying option on the control panel.
In case a different cooking mode is selected by mistake, the user is not exposed to
any danger. However, it is possible that the safety thermostat goes ON, disabling
the appliance.
CAUTION!
In order to prevent the safety thermostat from going on, never perform frying cycles below
the minimum level at about 30 mm from the tank bottom.
Also maintain the maximum oil level corresponding to the visible intermediate line on the
container.
In this cooking mode, the automatic or manual water charge is disabled for safety reasons.
6.0. Optional cooking modes with core probe
But if the appliance has been provided with the neddle core porbe (optional), it is possible
to set the following cooking methods.
6.1. C-N PROBE (cooking with core probe)
This mode requires setting the product temperature, controlled by the core probe and the
cooking vat probe.
For a correct temperature detection, put the needle in the core of product, trying to
penetrate as much as possible.
Example: we need to make the product reach a temperature of 80°C while the heating
base should not exceed 150 °C. By proceeding as above, this is what will appear on the
display:

In which:
80 °C = set product temperature
25 °C = temperature actually measured by the core probe
150 °C = set base temperature
25 °C = temperature actually measured by the base probe
Confirm by pressing
E N T E R
, then it will be necessary to confirm if we wish to start holding
cycle (65 °C) until the end of the cooking cycle.
If you select “YES”:
once the set product temperature has been reached, the appliance will stop heating and
start a holding cycle at 65 °C for an infinite time (shown on the display with 0).
Press
S T AR T
S T O P
to interrupt the holding cycle.
If you select “NO”:
once the set product temperature has been reached, the appliance will stop heating and
not carry out any holding cycle.
6.1.1. How to select cooking time with C-N probe
This type of cooking is related to temperature and not to time, however it is possible to set
a cooking time that will start countdown from the moment in which the selected product
temperature has been reached.
In this case, press select desired time using and confirm by pressing
E N T E R
Example:
Product temperature 85°C
Bottom temperature 120°C
Cooking time 60 minutes
Holding = YES
During the heating cycle, the selected time appears only if the core temperature is
reached. Press to view it for at least 20 sec.
Once the temperature of 85°C has been reached, it is
held for 60 minutes. Once the time is over, heating
stops and starts off again only to hold food at a
temperature of +65°C.

6.2. PROBE (Core probe soft)
In this case it is necessary to select product temperature on the board and the difference
with the cooking vat temperature.
For a correct temperature detection, put the needle in the core of product, trying to
penetrate as much as possible.
Example: we wish product to reach a temperature of 95 °C and that the heating base is
always 20 °C hotter than the product itself.
If we proceed as above this is what will appear on the display:
In which:
95 °C = set product temperature
25 °C = actual temperature measure by product probe
20 °C = set difference between bottom temperature and product temperature
1 °C = actual difference between bottom temperature and product temperature
(meaning that the temperature currently detected by the bottom probe is 26 °C)
Confirm by pressing
E N T E R
, then it will be necessary to confirm if we wish to start holding
cycle (65 °C) until the end of the cooking cycle
If you select “YES”:
once the set product temperature has been reached, the appliance will stop heating and
start the holding cycle at a temperature of 65 °C for an infinite time (shown on the display
with a “0”).
To interrupt the holding cycle press
S T AR T
S T O P
.
If you select “NO”:
once the set product temperature has been reached, the appliance will stop heating and
not carry out any holding cycle.
