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

 

inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg (see figure 1).

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.

to use the default target temperature

of 170°F.

The

target temperature

setting will

be accepted

after the

pad 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 _ 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:

1.Keep @ pressed for 7 seconds. "PnCC" (Probe no Cancel Cooking) will appear in the display.

2.Press @ to toggle between "PnCC" and "P CC" (Probe Cancel Cooking).

3. Press

to accept the change or @ to cancel the change.

The probe can be damaged by very high temperature. To protect the probe against this damage, the oven control will not allow you to start a self-clean or broil while the probe is connected.
