Safety Instructions
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one provided
with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
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.
■
To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■
Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■
Do not store the probe in the oven.
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.
After preparing the meat and placing it on
a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow
these directions for proper probe
placement.
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. 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.
How to Set the Upper Oven For Cooking When Using the Probe
Insert the probe 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.
Touch the
PROBE
pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired internal food or meat
temperature between 100°F and 200°F.
Touch the
BAKE
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.
The display will show
LO
until the internal
temperature of the food reaches 100°F;
then the changing internal temperature
will be shown.
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 use tongs to pull on
it—they might damage it.
To change the oven temperature during
probe cooking, touch the
BAKE
pad and
then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
■
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 can use the timer even though you cannot
use timed oven operations while using the
probe.
