Setting Oven Controls
Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the
meat probe function to check the internal temperature without
any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,
testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure
properly cooked meats.
Important notes:
•
Use only the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using any
other probe or device may result in damage to appliance
and the meat probe receptacle.
•
Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.
•
Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and
removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use tongs
to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or removing
from food or receptacle.
•
Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.
•
To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug
meat probe using a pot holder to protect hands.
Proper meat probe placement:
Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch
bone, fat, gristle or cookware.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of
lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or
casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. When cooking
fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest
part of inner thigh, below the leg (See
).
Important note:
Changing how the oven reacts after reaching the target temper-
ature must be done before starting the cooking process.
To set meat probe:
1.
Prepare the food and
properly insert the tempera-
ture probe into the food. Do
not preheat or start cooking
before properly inserting the
meat probe. Probe should be
inserted into the food and
receptacle while the oven is
still cool.
2. Place the prepared food on
the desired oven rack position
and slide into the oven.
3. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle, located on
the left front top oven cavity wall (see above). When the
meat probe is correctly plugged into the receptacle, the
probe icon will illuminate in the oven control display.
4. To set the target temperature press Meat Probe once then
enter the desired target internal temperature using the
numeric key pads (default setting is 170ºF/ 77ºC).
5. Press
to accept the meat probe target temperature.
Close the oven door.
6. Set the oven control for Bake, Convection Bake or Convec-
tion Roast and the desired oven temperature. The meat
probe cannot be set with Broil or Self-Clean.
7. While cooking, the actual meat probe temperature will
display by default. To view the target temperature press
Meat Probe once. After 6 seconds the display will show the
actual meat probe temperature. If the target temperature
needs to be changed during the cooking process, press
Meat Probe once and use the numeric keys to adjust the
target temperature. Press
to accept any change.
8. The oven control will provide 3 beeps when the internal
target temperature is reached. The oven will automatically
change to a Warm & Hold setting and maintain the oven
temperature at 170° F (77°C). Instructions for changing how
the oven reacts after reaching the internal target tempera-
ture may be found later in this section.
9. Press
to cancel cooking at any time.
