Operating Your Oven
Using the Meat Probe (Cont.)
To cancel meat probe operation while the oven is cooking:
•Press the PROBE key twice. Disconnect the meat probe from the connector. The oven will return to any previous settings that were entered before the PROBE key was pressed.
Important details about the meat probe:
•You must select the specific cooking mode (BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST) before you press the PROBE key.
•When using the meat probe feature the preheat cycle is disabled. For best results, select the mode and allow the oven to preheat prior to starting the meat probe feature.
•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.
