Using the probe.
(on some models)
Insert the probe fully 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. Make
sure the probe cable is not touching
the broil element.
Touch the
PROBE
pad. Display will
show “Set Probe.”
Touch the number pads to set
the desired internal food or meat
temperature. The maximum internal
temperature for the food that you can
set is 200ºF.
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.
After the internal temperature of the
food reaches 100°F, the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
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.
■
If the probe is removed from the oven
while probe cooking, the oven will not
automatically turn off.
To change the oven temperature during
the Bake/Roast cycle, touch the
BAKE
pad
and then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
■
You can use the Kitchen Timer even
though you cannot use timed oven
operations while using the probe.
To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe
from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.
Use of probes other than the one provided
with this product may result in damage to
the probe or oven control.
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.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow
these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat
or gristle.
NOTE:
Failure to fully insert the probe
into the meat may result in poor cooking
performance because the probe will sense
the oven air vs. the food temperature.
■
Never leave your probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
■
Do not store the probe in the oven.
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.
NOTE:
Self-clean and Broil settings will not
work if the temperature probe is plugged in.
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.

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.
