Operating Your Oven - Deluxe Features
Using the Meat Probe
When you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal temperature is the best way to tell when the food is properly cooked. Your oven’s meat probe is an easy way to take the guess-
work out of roasting. You can use it to cook food to the exact temperature you desire. The probe can be set from 125°F (51°C) to 185°F (85°C).
warning
•To avoid the possibility of burns, use hot pads to handle, connect, and unplug the meat probe when the oven is hot.
•Use the handles to insert and remove the meat probe’s skewer and to connect it to the oven. Pushing or pulling on either end of the cable could damage the meat probe. To avoid breaking the meat probe, make sure the food is completely defrosted before inserting the skewer.
•Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it turns completely off. When the temperature drops below
140°F (60°C), bacteria can develop (after Keep Warm mode).
•To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside the oven when it is not being used, especially during the
•Using a meat probe other than the one provided with your oven may result in damage to the probe and/or the oven.
NOTE
•The meat probe does not work with Broil, Max Broil, Convection Broil and Sabbath modes. Plugging in the meat probe when using one of these modes will cause an error signal to appear on the display.
•Use of the meat probe and Cook Time feature at the same time is not recommended because one can conflict with the timing of the other.
To use the meat probe...
1.Prepare the meat for cooking prior to setting the oven. Insert the meat probe skewer into the center of the meat. Make sure that the skewer is not inside any fatty portions of the meat and does not touch any bones. The point should rest in the thickest part of the meat. When you are cooking fowl, the tip of the skewer should rest toward the center of the bird.
