Using the probe.
(on some models)
Insert the probe fully 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. Make sure the probe cable
is not touching the broil element.
Touch the PROBE pad. Display will show
“Set Probe Temp.”
Touch the number pads to set the desired
internal food or meat temperature. The
maximum internal temperature for the
food that you can set is 200ºF.
Touch the START pad.
Touch the BAKE or CONVECTION 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.
Touch the PROBE pad to recall the probe
temperature or BAKE or CONVECTION pad
to recall the oven temperture. For the probe
temperature, after the internal temperature
of the food reaches 100°F, the changing
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

damage it.
„ If the probe is removed from the oven
while probe cooking, the oven will not
automatically turn off.
To change the oven temperature during
the Bake/Roast cycle, touch the BAKE or
CONVECTION pad and then the number pads
to set the new temperature.
„ You can use the Kitchen Timer even though
you cannot use timed oven operations while
using the probe.
To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe from
the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.
Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe
or oven control.
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.
After preparing the meat and placing it on
a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat. It
should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
NOTE: Failure to fully insert the probe into the
meat may result in poor cooking performance
because the probe will sense the oven air vs.
the food temperature.
„ Never leave your probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
„ Do not store the probe in the oven.
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.
NOTE: Self-clean and Broil settings will not work
if the temperature probe is plugged in.
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.
