ROASTING WITH THE PROBE

Placement of the Temperature Probe
The oven has a probe in the upper oven only.
A temperature probe has been provided
use in
your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand
high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with
other products, such those used for microwave
ovens, may not be designed to withstand high
temperatures. Use
probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a
cleaning cycle.
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.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one
end and a plug at the other end that goes into a
receptacle on the oven wall.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting
and removing from meat and wall receptacle. Do not
use tongs to
on the cable when removing the
probe—they might damage it. TO AVOID
BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE SURE FOOD IS
COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEFORE
INSERTING.
