Using the Meat Probe (Certain Models Only)
Setting the Temperature for Meat Probe
The meat probe is supplied with some models only. For other models it may be purchased separately. For further information or to purchase a meat probe, contact Customer Care, your authorized service centre or visit our website: fisherpaykel.com.
Use your meat probe to accurately judge when meat is perfectly cooked. The meat probe will gauge the core temperature of the meat and will stop cooking when the selected temperature has been reached.

Insert the tip of the probe into the center of the thickest part of the fully defrosted meat. The thicker the meat, the longer it will take to cook, so it is important that the probe is measuring the temperature of the meat at its thickest point. Make sure the probe does not touch bone, fat or gristle, as these will heat up more quickly than the lean meat. The meat probe icon will appear on the display 
. When a cooking mode is selected with the probe inserted, a display page will appear where you can select the settings for the meat probe.
