CONVECTION ROASTING

(upper oven only-continued)

How to Set Your Oven for Convection Roasting When Using the Temperature Probe

NOTE: 

For best results when roasting large

turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe
included in the convection oven. For correct
placement of the probe, see the description in the
Regular Roasting section.
The display will flash “PROBE” and the oven

control will signal if the probe is inserted into
the outlet, but the oven is not programmed for
the probe.

Your double oven has controls for the upper oven
and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct
control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for
the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel
are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and

DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.

1. 

Place the offset shelf
in the lowest position

(A). Insert the probe

into the meat.

2. Plug the probe

into the outlet on the
oven wall. Make sure
it is pushed all the
way in. Close the
oven door.

 3. 

Press the PROBE pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or

A

DECREASE pad until the desired
internal probe temperature is
displayed.

5. 

Press the CONV. ROAST pad.

6. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE 

The last oven set temperature appears   the
display. Continue pressing until the desired oven
temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The words
“CONV ON” and the roasting temperature you
set will be in the display.

After a few seconds, the words “LO PROBE” will
replace the roasting temperature in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat reaches

100”F., the changing internal temperature will be

shown in the display.

CLEAR

OFF

7. 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 bums, 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 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.

● 

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.

● 

A second fan may automatically turn on and off to

cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

● 

You can use the timer even though you cannot use

timed oven operations.

To change oven temperature during the
Convection Roast cycle, press the CONV.
ROAST pad and then press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to get the new desired
temperature.
