The meat probe takes the
guesswork out of roasting by
cooking foods to the ideal internal
temperature. The probe setting is
used to automatically turn the oven
off when meat reaches its optimal
internal temperature. Your Viking
oven’s built-in probe will help you
prepare meats exactly
as you want them.
To Insert the Meat Probe:
After preparing the meat and placing it on the broiler pan, follow
these steps for proper probe placement:
1. Plug meat probe into the receptacle
in the oven cavity wall.
If probe is not
plugged into the oven wall cavity,
”CLOCK/PROBE” button will not
function as a ”Probe” activator.
2. Lay the probe on the outside of the
meat along the top or side and use your finger to mark where the
edge of the meat meets the probe. The point where they meet
should rest in the center of the thickest, meatiest part of the roast.
3. Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the
bone, fat, or gristle.
• 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 or joint.
• With a whole turkey, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg.
4. Press ”CLOCK/PROBE” button to
activate. Right display will read Meat
Probe Set Point.
See “Temperature
Range and Default” chart on page 25.
”Probe” will illuminate under left display.

5. Toggle ”SELECTOR” right to increase or left to decrease to desired
temperature in 1ºF increments.
6. Push in “SELECTOR” to accept time or after 5 seconds, probe time
will auto-accept.
7. Set OVEN FUNCTION and TEMPERATURE as detailed in ”
Set Oven
Function and Temperature
” on page 23.
(Meat probe will display actual internal meat temperature as it cooks.
When programmed ”Probe Temperature” is achieved, there will be
3 long ”beeps” and right display alternates between FUNCTION/Set
Point and DONE/Meat Set Point. On left display, PROBE icon flashes.
Oven will automatically turn off. The control emits a short reminder
beep every 60 seconds until the “OFF” or CLEAR/SETTINGS button is
pressed.)
Note:
DELAY COOK cannot be performed in conjunction with a
COOK BY PROBE operation as DELAY COOK has no Start Time
programmed in.
Note:
TIMED COOK can be performed along with a MEAT PROBE,
but only when Meat Probe is used for monitoring only.
Meat Probe Use and Care
• Use of probes other than the one provided with your oven may
result in damage to the probe.
• Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing
them from the meat and outlet.
• To avoid damaging your probe,
NEVER
use tongs to pull on the
cable when removing.
• To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely
defrosted before inserting.
• To prevent possible burns,
DO NOT
unplug the probe from the
outlet until the oven has cooled.
•
NEVER
leave the probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
•
NEVER
store the probe inside the oven.
