Using the Probe

(some models)

Note:

Always remove probe from oven when cooking

is complete. The probe symbol will remain in the

display until the probe is removed. Do not leave probe

attachment in oven during self-clean. Oven will not self-

clean with the probe installed in the oven.

Using the Probe

1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack

in roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe

into the meat (See “Inserting the Probe”, above).

2. Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat,

bone, the roasting rack or the pan.

3. Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on

recommended oven rack. Plug probe into the

probe receptacle. The probe symbol will appear

in display.

Note: The probe temperature can only be set

when the probe is installed in the oven.
4. Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE,

CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTIONROAST.

5. Touch START. The default oven temperature will

appear.

6. Turn knob to change oven temperature if

necessary.

7. Touch START.

8. Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired

end temperature of the food).

9. Touch START.

•

The chosen oven temperature is displayed in

the upper right hand corner of the display.

The probe temperature is displayed in the

center to the left of the cooking mode. It starts

at 80° and increases in 5°F increments

until the chosen probe temperature is reached.

•

The oven is preheated when the beep signals

once.

•

When the set probe temperature is reached,

END appears in display and oven turns off.

About the Probe

•

The probe can be used to determine the internal

doneness or the “END” temperature of many foods,

especially meats and poultry.

•

The temperature range for the probe is 135°F to

200°F.

•

Preheating the oven is not recommended when

using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability

to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and

to insert it into the meat.

•

Oven temperature can be set for 100°F up to 450°F

Inserting the Probe

Insert the probe tip into the food item.

•

For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest

part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.

•

For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the

probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.

•

For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip

should be located in the center of the thickest part

of the food.

Probe Use Tips

•

The oven is well insulated and the retained heat

will continue to cook the meat after the oven has

shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from

the oven as soon as the control beeps.

•

Since meat continues to cook after being removed

from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature

5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal

temperature (exception: poultry). Allow “standing

time” (10 -20 minutes) before carving the meat.

•

Always use the handle of the probe for inserting

and removing. Use a potholder to remove since the

probe becomes hot.

•

Remove the probe from the oven when it is not

being used.

•

The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For

best results, completely thaw meats before using

the probe.
