Using the Temperature Probe Feature

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature you desire without having to guess.

IMPORTANT:

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

2.Handle the Temperature Probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and outlet.

3.Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing the Probe. It could damage the Probe.

4.Defrost your food completely before inserting the Probe to avoid breaking it.

5.Never leave or store the Temperature Probe inside the oven when not in use.

6.To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the Temperature Probe using hot pads.

Proper Temperature Probe Placement:

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

2.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. When

cooking fish, insert the Probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

3. For whole poultry (chicken, turkey, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the innerFigure 1 thigh from below and parallel to the leg (see figure 1).

Setting the Oven When using the Temperature Probe:

1.If needed, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

2.Insert the Temperature Probe into the food (see Proper Temperature Probe Placement above).

3.After the oven has reached the desired temperature, place the food into the oven.

4.The oven will be hot, so wear an oven mitt and plug the Temperature Probe into its outlet in the oven. (The outlet is located on the top left hand side of

the cavity wall, near front of the oven). Make sure it is pushed all the way into the outlet. Close the oven door.

temperature setting will be accepted after the STARTpad is pressed.

7.At any time during the cooking, the @ pad can be pressed once to display the actual meat temperature or

pressed twice to display the target temperature. When on the target temperature display, The symbol/It will flash to indicate that a new target temperature can be entered. After 5-8 seconds, the display will go back to showing the bake temperature.

Setting the oven to stop cooking after the meat probe target temperature has been reached:

When the oven is shipped from the factory it is set to beep when the target temperature has been reached, but cooking will still continue. To change it so that cooking stops when the oven beeps follow the steps below:
