changes. As soon as the temperature changes, the updated
actual temperature will be sent automatically by the base station
to the receiver.
9GB

NOTE:
The frequency selector switch (I) on the base station enables you
to select three dierent transmission channels. The receiver will
automatically nd the channel set on the base station each time
the transmitter and base station are switched on. If several
devices are being used simultaneously in the transmission range
of the transmitter (max. 20 m), the transmission channel must be
changed using the frequency selector switch (I) before the
device is switched on. It is not possible to change the frequency
during use.
INSERT THE TEMPERATURE MEASURING PROBE (H):
The temperature measuring probe (H) and the cable may be
used in a maximum temperature of 380°C. Ensure that the base
station is installed away from hot surfaces since otherwise it may
suer irreparable damage.
Insert the tip of the temperature measuring probe (H) into the
side of the thickest point of the food whose temperature you
wish to monitor so that you can turn the food as it cooks.
NOTE:
Ensured that you do not touch any fat, gristle or born with the tip
of the temperature measuring probe (H) since otherwise the
temperature measurement could be falsied.

degrees Fahrenheit °F.
NOTE:
The thermometer can display temperatures in the following
temperature ranges: 0°C – 250°C (32°F – 482°F). If you attempt to
measure temperatures below 0°C (32°F), LLL will be displayed on
the LC display (5) at (CURRENT TEMP). If you attempt to measure
temperatures over 250°C (482°F), HHH will be displayed on the
LC display (5) at (CURRENT TEMP). In this case remove the tem-
perature measuring probe (H) immediately to prevent it being
damaged.
2. SET THE FOOD TYPE (2e) AND COOKING SETTING (2c):
The device has preset cooking target temperatures for various
food types and, if applicable, the required cooking settings.

SPECIAL CAKE AND BAKING FUNCTION:
If you select the cake function, it makes sense not to use the
temperature measuring probe (H) until the mixture has a slight
crust to ensure that it does not sink into the liquid mixture. For
cakes and other baked goods, you should ideally insert the tem-
perature measuring probe (H) at an angle into the cake mixture
and submerge at least one-third of the total length of the tem-
perature measuring probe (H) into it.
The list of preset food types and the possible settings for them is
set out in the table below:
