Operating the oven
Using the Temp probe
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, lamb,
etc), measuring the internal temperature is the best way to determine if the food
is properly cooked. The Temp probe lets you cook meat to the exact internal
temperature you want, taking the guess work out of determining whether a piece
of meat is done or not. This function can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, or
Convection Roast.
After the internal temperature of the food reaches 100 °F, the increasing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
How to use the Temp probe
1.
Push the tip of the Temp probe into the meat as fully as possible, so that the
tip is in the center of the meat.
•
Insert the probe completely into the
meat as shown in the illustrations. It
should not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
•
If you do not fully insert the probe into
the meat, the Temp Probe function will
not work correctly because the probe
will sense the oven temperature, not
the temperature of the meat.
•
For bone-in meats, insert the probe into
the center of the lowest and thickest
portion of the piece.
•
For whole poultry (turkey, large
chickens, etc.), insert the probe into the
thickest part of the inner thigh, parallel
to the leg.
•
If you activate the Keep Warm
function to keep the meat warm
after you have cooked it using the
Temp Probe function, the meat’s
internal temperature will exceed the
temperature you want.
2.
Insert the temp probe plug into the socket on the top side wall of the oven as
far as it will go.
3.
Turn the upper or lower oven mode knob to select the desired cooking mode
(Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast). Set the cooking temperature.
(See pages
21
and
31
.)
4.
Tap
Temp Probe
to set the desired internal temperature.
5.
Set the desired internal temperature using the numeric pad.
Available temperatures
100 °F to 200 °F
6.
If you want to use the Cook time or Delay start, set each function.
7.
Tap
START
.
8.
When the desired internal temperature is reached, the function automatically
stops and an alarm sounds.
CAUTION
To protect the Temp probe’s tip, be careful not to insert the probe so that the tip
protrudes through the surface of the meat. Make sure that the tip is in or near the
center of the meat.
CAUTION
•
Do not store the probe in the oven.
•
Do not leave the probe inside the oven during a self-cleaing or broiling cycle.
You can permanently damage the probe and it will no longer work.
•
To avoid breaking the probe’s tip, defrost your food completely.
•
Do not use tongs when inserting or removing the probe. Tongs can damage
the probe.
•
Use the Temp probe for Temp Probe function cooking only. Do not use the
Temp probe for any other purpose.
NOTE
•
If you remove the Temp probe while the Temp Probe function is operating
or insert the Temp probe while baking or cooking normally, cooking will stop
after 1 minute.
•
If you use the probe to cook frozen food, there are times when it cannot be
detected. (The probe icon won't appear in the display.)
