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.

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 of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control.

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 breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

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

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.

NOTE: Failure to fully insert the probe into the meat may result in poor cooking performance because the probe will sense the oven air vs. the food temperature.

Read and remove label

■Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.

■Do not store the probe in the oven.

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

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.

NOTE: Self-clean and Broil settings will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in.

Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the way in. Close the oven door. Make sure the probe cable is not touching the broil element.

Touch the PROBE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired internal food or meat temperature. The maximum internal temperature for the food that you can set is 200ºF.

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Touch the START pad.

The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and touched the START pad.

After the internal temperature of the food reaches 100°F, the changing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

When the internal temperature of the food reaches the number you have set, the probe and the oven turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the signal, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on it—they might damage it.

■If the probe is removed from the oven while probe cooking, the oven will not automatically turn off.

To change the oven temperature during the Bake/Roast cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.
