Temperature Probe

26Cooking Modes

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature you desire without having to guess. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast and Perfect Turkey cooking modes. The oven can be programmed for Probe at any temperature between 130°F to 210°F with a default temperature of 170°F. This unit is equipped with one temperature probe entry in each oven.

IMPORTANT:

1.Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.

2.HandletheTemperatureProbecarefullywheninsertingandremovingitfromthefoodandoutlet.

3.DonotusetongstopullthecablewheninsertingorremovingtheProbe.ItcoulddamagetheProbe.

4.Defrost your food completely before inserting the Probe to avoid breaking it.

5.Never leave or store the Temperature Probe inside the oven when not in use.

6.To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the Temperature Probe using hot pads.

Proper Temperature Probe Placement:

1.Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or pan.

2.Forbone-inhamorlamb,inserttheProbeintothecenterofthelowest

large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert

the Probe into the center of the food. When cooking fish, insert the Probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

3.For whole poultry (chicken, turkey, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg (see figure 1).

Adjust temperature to the desired setting usingthenumericpadsorjustpressSTART tousethedefaulttargettemperatureof170°F. The pads hi+ or lo- can also be pressed to raise or lower the temperature. The target temperature setting will be accepted after the START pad is pressed.

5.At any time during the cooking, the PROBE pad can be pressed once to display the actual meat temperature or pressed twice to display the target temperature. When on the target temperature display, a new temperature can be entered. After 5-8 seconds, the display will go back to showing the oven temperature.

6.When the food reach the target temperature, the oven will go into a KEEP WARM mode until you press CANCEL .
