MEAT PROBE

Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of ensuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork.

See the example below to set the probe target temperature to 180°F/82°C when using the convection roast feature with oven set temperature for 325°F/162°C.

1.Insert the probe into the food and place the food into the oven -Fig. 1-.

Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.

The following temperature settings apply to the probe function:

•Default: 170°F / 76°C

•Minimum: 130°F / 54°C

•Maximum: 210°F / 99°C

Proper probe placement

•Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.

•For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the food visually measure with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill.

•For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-.

2.Plug the probe COMPLETELY into the probe receptacle inside the oven -Fig. 2- and close the oven door.

3.Press CONV ROAST

4.Enter 325

5.Press START

6.Press MEAT PROBE

7.Enter 180

8.Press START

At this time, the actual meat probe temperature will be displayed.

*You may skip step 7 if you choose to use the default internal target temperature of 170°F for the probe.

By the default, your oven will adjust to the Warm & Hold setting once the probe has reached the set temperature.

IMPORTANT

•Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.

•Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The probe will not work properly until correctly connected.

•Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and the receptacle.

•Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing it from the food or the receptacle.

•Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to avoid damaging probe.

•Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not in use.

•To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the probe using a pot holder.

NOTE

•When the meat probe is connected to the receptacle and a cooking function is started, the display will show the current temperature reported by the meat probe.

•Any time during the cooking process you may press MEAT PROBE to modify the target temperature.
