Cooking with the temperature probe

The Temperature Probe helps take the guesswork out of cooking roasts and larger casseroles. The probe is designed to turn off the oven when it senses the temperature you chose (between 90°F and 200°F). See your cookbook for helpful information on cooking different types of food.

1. Insert probe into food.

Insert at least 13 of the Temperature Probe into the food. (See page 33.)

NOTE: If you have not plugged in the Temperature Probe properly or if probe is defective, “PROBE” will appear on the Display, three tones will sound, and the oven will not turn on. After correcting the problem or removing the probe, touch START to clear the Display.
