programmed with the temperature probe out. The oven will pause between COOK and PROBE TEMP. “PROB” will show on the Display to remind you to plug in the probe.

For casseroles, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the food. Stir foods when
recommended. Replace the probe.
For liquids, balance the probe on a wooden spoon or spatula so the tip of the probe is in the center of the liquid.
For roasts, the top of the probe should be in the center of the largest muscle, but not touch- ing fat or bone.
