Instructions

Using the probe.

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.

Operating Instructions Safety

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.

Use ofprobes other than theoneprovidedwith thisproductmayresult indamage tothe probe.

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 breakingthe probe, makesure food is completelydefrosted before inserting.

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

Installation Instructions

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivetor on a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

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.

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.
