When the meat probe is in use, the oven will

When the meat is done, the oven will go into hold mode. The temperature will reduce to 150°F for two hours to keep the meat warm and safe for serving.

Important Details About Meat Probe Use
•You must select the specific cooking mode (BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST) before you press the PROBE key.
•When you press the PROBE key the preheat cycle is disabled and the amount of time required to heat the oven is extended. For best results, select the cooking mode and allow the oven to preheat prior to pressing the PROBE key and putting the meat in the oven.
•The meat probe function will automatically cancel after 30 seconds if the meat probe is not connected.
The meat probe symbol will flash on the display.
•The meat probe feature takes precedence over the delay timed cooking feature. The oven will continue to cook the meat until it reaches the selected meat probe temperature regardless of the STOP TIME or DURATION setting, then go into hold mode.
