Oven Operation - Using the Probe (HE25 Models Only)
About the Probe | Probe Use Tips |
•The probe can be used to determine the internal doneness or the “END” temperature of many foods, especially meats and poultry.
•The temperature range for the probe is 135°F to 200°F (57°C to 93°C).
•Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.
•Oven temperature can be set for 100°F up to 450°F (38°C up to 232°C).
Inserting the Probe
Insert the probe tip into the food item.
•For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
•For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.
•For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the food.
Using the Probe
1.Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe into the meat (See “Inserting the Probe”, above).
2.Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat, bone, the roast rack or the pan.
3.Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on recommended oven rack. Plug probe into the probe receptacle. The probe symbol will appear in display.
Note: The probe temperature can only be set when the probe is installed in the oven.
4.Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTIONROAST.
5.Touch START. The default oven temperature will appear.
6.Turn knob to change oven temperature if necessary.
7.Touch START.
8.Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired end temperature of the food.
9.Touch START.
•The chosen oven temperature is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the display.
•The probe temperature is displayed in the center to the left of the cooking mode. It starts at 80 degrees and increases in 5°F increments until the chosen probe temperature is reached.
•The oven is preheated when the beep signals once.
•When the set probe temperature is reached, END appears in display and oven turns off.
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is complete. The probe symbol will remain in the display until the probe is removed. Do not leave probe attachment in oven during
•The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the meat after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as soon as the control beeps.
•Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal temperature (exception: poultry). Allow “standing time” (10
•Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.
•Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.
•The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely thaw meats before using the probe.
