How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
The display will flash PROBE and the
oven control will signal if the probe is
inserted into the outlet, and you have not
set a probe temperature and pressed the
START pad.
Place the rack (on 27
″ models
use the offset rack) in the lowest
position (A). Insert the probe into
the meat.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Press the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Press the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Press the PROBE pad.
Press the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
Press the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F, the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of
the meat reaches the number you
have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control
signals. To stop the signal, press 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.
CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not
unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the
oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in
the oven.
NOTE:
■
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 will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■ You can use the timer even though you cannot
use timed oven operations.
■
On double oven models, you will not be able to
use the probe in the upper oven during timed
oven operations. This is because, with the
probe, you are cooking by temperature rather
than time.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
To change the oven temperature
during the Convection Roast cycle,
press the CONVECTION ROAST pad
and then press the number pads to
set the new desired temperature.

some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
