Operating the Oven

Important Details About Meat Probe Use

•You must select the specific cooking mode (BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST) before you press the PROBE key.

•When you press the PROBE key the preheat cycle is disabled and the amount of time required to heat the oven is extended. For best results, select the cooking mode and allow the oven to preheat prior to pressing the PROBE key and putting the meat in the oven.

•The meat probe function will automatically cancel after 30 seconds if the meat probe is not connected. The meat probe symbol will flash on the display.

•The meat probe feature takes precedence over the delay timed cooking feature. The oven will continue to cook the meat until it reaches the selected meat probe temperature regardless of the STOP TIME or COOK TIME setting, then go into hold mode.

Dehydrating Tips

Equipment Recommended

•Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½” rim all the way around

•Baking rack that fits inside the half sheet pan

•Cheesecloth

•4 quart sauce pot with lid

•Steamer basket that fits inside 4 quart saucepan. One that is perforated and opens up will work well.

•Slotted spoon

•Paper towels

•A sharp knife

When you dehydrate:

1.Wash and remove excess moisture from all fruits and vegetables before dehydrating.

2.Cut fruits and vegetables into uniform pieces.

3.You can add honey, spices, lime juice or orange juice to give the fruit a different flavor.

4.It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan underneath to catch any juices. If using a rack when dehydrating small fruit, put cheesecloth over the rack to allow for maximum air circulation and to prevent the fruit from sticking to the rack.

5.Place the food onto the center of the oven rack.
