Operating Your Oven
Using the Meat Probe
when you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal
temperature is the best way to tell when the food is prop-
erly cooked. your oven’s meat probe is an easy way to
take the guesswork out of roasting. you can use it to cook
food to the exact temperature you desire. the probe can
be set from 100°f to 200°f.
warning
To avoid the possibility of burns, use hot pads to handle, •
connect, and unplug the meat probe when the oven is hot.
Use the handles to insert and remove the meat probe’s
•
skewer and to connect it to the oven. Pushing or pulling
on either end of the cable could damage the meat probe.
To avoid breaking the meat probe, make sure the food is
completely defrosted before inserting the skewer.
To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside
•
the oven when it is not being used, especially during the
self-clean cycle.
Using a meat probe other than the one provided with your
•
oven may result in damage to the probe and/or the oven.
note
The meat probe does not work with Broil or Convection Broil •
and Sabbath modes. Plug in the meat probe when using the
above modes, the meat probe symbol will flash indicating an
error.
If the meat probe is accidently disconnected after the
•
PROBE key is pressed, the meat probe symbol will flash
and the error message “ OPn” will appear on the display.
To use the meat probe:

oven. insert the meat probe skewer into the center
of the meat. make sure that the skewer is not inside
any fatty portions of the meat and does not touch any
bones. the point should rest in the thickest part of
the meat. when you are cooking fowl, the tip of the
skewer should rest toward the center of the bird.
