I. Oven MAX/MIN Test
During use, an oven thermostat will cycle the
oven on and off to maintain the temperature at
which the control knob is set. Some ovens will
experience a wide temperature deviation while
others may have tighter regulation. For roasting
this is not critical. However, for baking it is critical
to know how hot the oven gets while trying to
maintain a temperature of, for example, 350º F.
1. Position the probe in the center of the oven.
2. Gently close the oven door on the sensor cable
and insert the plug into the jack on the left side
of the case.
