Optimum Positioning of the CT Probe
13 / 242
Always insert the core temperature probe into the thickest part of the product. Make sure
that as much of the probe needle is in the product as possible. Insert the core temperature
probe at an angle into the product.
Use the positioning aid for small or soft food as this will hold the CT probe securely at all
times.
For bakery products that rise a long way during baking, position the CT probe vertically in
the middle of the product.
Different sized products in a single load:
As a rule, the CT probe should be inserted into the smallest product for loads containing
products of different sizes. For cooking processes that are followed by a hold phase, such
as “overnight roasting”, "braise", “overnight cooking”, make sure that the hold phase is long
enough for the larger products to reach the desired core temperature.
For cooking processes without an integral hold phase, simply use the "next" function to
finish cooking the larger pieces. Once the smallest piece is cooked, the buzzer sounds and
the “next” button appears on the display after you open the door. Now insert the CT probe
into the next largest product and press “next”. Repeat this as often as necessary.
