Thermador CIT36XWB Instructions for Use - Page 24

Advantages ▯ The cooking position is only powered when this is necessary to maintain the temperature. This saves energy. ▯ The temperature is maintained continuously. This prevents the food from boiling over. It also means that you do not have to change the temperature setting. ▯ Cooking Sensor mode will tell you when the water or oil has reached the optimal temperature for adding the food (see the exceptions where the food should be added at the very beginning). Notes ▯ Use pots or cookware with a thick, flat base. Do not use pots with a thin or deformed base. ▯ Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough to cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch. ▯ Do not remove the cooking sensor from the pot during cooking. ▯ Remove the cooking sensor from the pot after cooking. Be careful as the cooking sensor may be very hot. Tips for cooking with Cooking Sensor mode ▯ Keeping warm/heating: Suitabel for portions of frozen products, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in the cookware. Add the volume of water specified by the manufacturer. Cover the cookware with a lid. Select the temperature recommended in the table. ▯ Simmering: This cooking method is suitable for cooking food at low temperatures, thickening sauces, reducing stews and cooking with milk. Select the temperature recommended in the table for the food you want to cook. ▯ Boiling: This cooking method allows you to boil water with a lid on without it boiling over. This temperature control allows water to be boiled more efficiently. Select the temperature recommended in the table. ▯ Cooking in a pressure cooker: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. After the signal tone sounds, continue cooking for the recommended time. Select the temperature recommended in the table. ▯ Deep fat frying: It is recommended that you heat oil with a lid on. Once the signal tone has sounded, remove the lid and add the food. Select the temperature recommended in the table for the food you want to cook. Notes ▯ Always cook with the lid on except when using the "Deep fat frying" function. ▯ If an audible signal does not sound, make sure there is a lid on the pot. If there is a lid on the pot, the appliance may have reached its maximum power consumption. This may affect the time required to reach the selected temperature. Switch off or reduce the temperature of the cooking positions on which the other pots are placed. See the section entitled ~ "Wireless Cooking Sensor" ▯ Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated. Use oil that is suitable for deep fat frying. Do not mix different cooking fats and oils - e.g. oil and lard - as such mixtures may foam up when hot. ▯ If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g. when boiling potatoes, next time use more water but keep the recommended temperature setting. Setting the boiling point The point at which water starts to boil depends on the altitude of your home above sea level. If the water is boiling too vigorously or too weakly, you can set the boiling point. Proceed as follows: ▯ Touch the " touch button and select the basic setting CAL Cooking sensor calibration. ▯ The default setting is set to 650 - 1300 ft (200-400 m). If your home is between 650 - 1300 ft (200-400 m) above sea level, you do not need to set the boiling point. If it is not, select the setting that best corresponds to the altitude of your home above sea level. Note: Temperature level 212° F (100 ºC) allows for efficient cooking even if the water does not boil very strongly. However, the boiling point can be changed. If you want the water to boil more strongly, for example, you can select the setting for a lower altitude. Setting procedure 1. Attach the wireless cooking sensor to the cookware; see the section entitled ~ "Preparing and caring for the wireless cooking sensor" 2. Fill the cookware with a sufficient amount of liquid, put the lid on and place it on the cooking surface. See the section entitled ~ "Attaching the wireless cooking sensor". 3. Tap the cooking position display for the cookware. 4. Touch the ¢ symbol. 5. Use your finger to scroll up to the n symbol. Then touch the 8 symbol to confirm your choice.     a Q  6. Touch the ¨ symbol on the wireless cooking sensor as shown on the display. 24
