Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.
■
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug
the probe from the outlet until the oven
has cooled.
■
Never leave your probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaning cycle.
■
Do not store the probe in the oven. The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and
a plug at the other end that goes
into the outlet in the oven.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.
The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in
ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg
of a whole turkey.
Using the probe.
How to Set the Upper Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe
Insert the probe into the food.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal food or meat
temperature.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
The display will flash if the probe is inserted
into the outlet and you have not set a probe
temperature and touched the START pad.
After the internal temperature of the food
reaches 100°F, the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of the
food reaches the number you have set,
the probe and the oven turn off and the
oven control signals. To stop the signal,
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads
to remove the probe from the food. Do
not use tongs to pull on it—they might
damage it.
To change the oven temperature during
the Roast cycle, touch the BAKE pad and
then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
■
If the probe is removed from the food before
the final temperature is reached, a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the
probe is removed from the oven.
■
You can use the timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations while
using the probe.
