Meat probe (cont’d)

Important note:

Changing how the oven reacts after reaching the target temperature must

be done before starting the cooking process.

To set meat probe: 1. Prepare the food and properly

insert the temperature probe into

the food. DO NOT preheat or start cooking before properly

inserting the meat probe. The probe should be inserted into the

food and receptacle while the oven is still cool.

2.Place the prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

3.Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located on the left front oven cavity side (See Fig. 1 for location of probe receptacle).

4.The oven control detects if the meat probe is correctly plugged in to receptacle and when recognized will illuminate the icon in the oven control display.

5.To set the target temperature press Meat Probe keypad once then enter the desired target internal temperature using the numeric key pads (default setting is 170ºF/

77ºC)†. Press to accept the meat probe target temperature. Close the oven door.

6.Set the oven control for Bake, Conv Bake or Conv Roast and the desired oven temperature. You may use the meat probe with some other baking features, but the meat probe cannot be set with Broil or Flex-Clean.

7.During the cooking process the actual meat probe temperature will display by default. To view the target temperature press the Meat Probe keypad once. After 6 seconds the display will show the actual meat probe temperature. If the target temperature needs to be changed during the cooking process, press the Meat Probe keypad once and use the numeric keypads to

adjust the target temperature. Press the key to accept any change.

8.The oven control will provide 3 beeps when the internal target temperature is reached. By default the oven will automatically change to a Warm & Hold setting. The Warm & Hold function will maintain the oven temperature at 170° F (77°C). Instructions for changing how the oven reacts after reaching the internal target temperature may be found later in this section.

†The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F/63°C for medium rare fresh beef.
