Using The Probe - Bosch HDS252U Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

• The probe can be used to determine the internal doneness
or the "END" temperature of many foods, especially meats
and poultry.
• The temperature range for the probe is 135°F to 200°F
(57°C to 93°C).
• Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the
probe. A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect
the probe to the receptacle and into the meat.
• Oven temperature can be set for 100°F up to 450°F (38°C
up to 232°C).
INSERTING THE PROBE
Insert the probe tip into the food item.
• For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part
and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
• For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the
probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.
• For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip
should be located in the center of the thickest part of
the food.

USING THE PROBE

1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in
roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe into
the meat (See "Inserting the Probe", above).
2. Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat, bone, the
roast rack or the pan.
3. Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on recommended
oven rack. Plug probe into the probe receptacle. The
probe symbol will appear in display.
Note: The probe temperature can only be set when
the probe is installed in the oven.
4. Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE,
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST. The
default oven temperature will appear.
5. Turn knob to change temperature if necessary.
6. Touch START.
7. Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired end
temperature of the food).
8. Touch START.
• The chosen oven temperature and mode are displayed
to the right of the time.
The probe temperature is displayed in the center to the
•
left of the cooking mode. It increases in 5°F
increments until the chosen temperature is reached.
• The oven is preheated when the beep signals once.
• When the set probe temperature is reached, END
appears in display and oven turns off. Touch OFF to
clear display.

PROBE USE TIPS
• The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will
continue to cook the meat after the oven has shut off.
For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as
soon as the control beeps.
• Since meat continues to cook after being removed
from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature 5
- 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature. Allow "standing time" (10 - 20 minutes)
before carving the meat.
• Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and
removing. Use a potholder to remove since the probe
becomes hot.
• Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being
used.
The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For
•
best results, completely thaw meats before using
the probe.
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is
complete. The probe symbol will remain in the display until the
probe is removed. Do not leave probe attachment in oven during
self-clean. Oven will not self-clean with the probe installed in
the oven.
