Using the probe.
(on some models)
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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
FIRE HAZARD: Wipe grease and heavy soil
from the oven bottom before self-cleaning.
Failure to do so may result in an oven fire.
We recommend venting your kitchen with
an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,
all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and out-
side the gasket on the door will need to be
cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot
water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub . Rinse well with clean water
and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
®
Remove any excessive spillovers
in the oven
cavity
before
starting the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can use heavy smoke or fire
when subjected to high temperatures.
DO NOT
allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit, juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may leave a dull spot
even after cleaning.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
