Meat Probe (cont.)
• To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull
on the cable when removing and do not clean in the
dishwasher.
• 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.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.
Positioning the Meat Probe
After preparing the meat and placing on the rack or cooking
tray, follow these steps for proper probe placement.
1. Lay the probe on the outside of the meat, along the top
or side, and mark with your finger where the edge of the
meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the
center of the thickest,
meatiest portion of
the meat.
2. 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.
3. Flip up the lid of the
outlet, located on the upper right side of the oven cavity.
Insert the probe into the outlet and close the oven door.
The probe temperature will display
<– – –°> in the text window and the meat probe indicator
will flash.
CAUTION
Only use the meat probe supplied. Do not place meat probe in the
dishwasher for cleaning.
4. Set the probe temperature to the desired internal
temperature. We recommend setting the temperature
