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.
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.

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 on the 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.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible burns,
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled.
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.
