Proper probe placement in food:

•Always insert the probe so that the probe tip rests in the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow probe temperature sensor tip to contact any bone, fat, gristle or the cookware.

•For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food. (See Fig. 2).

•When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

•For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe temperature sensor into the thickest part of inner thigh, below the leg (See Fig. 3).

To set easy probe:

1.Prepare food and properly insert the probe sensor into the middle portion of the food (See Figs. 2 & 3). The probe should be inserted into the food before starting the cooking process and while the oven is still cool.

2.Place the prepared food on desired oven rack position and slide rack completely inside the oven.

3.Insert the probe connector completely into the probe receptacle (Fig. 1) located at the upper left front side of the oven interior.

4.In a few seconds a tone will sound and the indicator light located above the easy probe keypad will turn ON indicating that the probe is functioning correctly.

5.Close the oven door. Set the oven for bake or quick bake and if needed, adjust to the desired baking temperature.

6.To display the internal food temperature press keypad at any time while cooking. The food internal temperature will appear for about 3 seconds and the display will revert back to the set oven temperature.

From time to time during the cooking process, press the easy probe keypad to check on the internal food temperature, especially as the temperature approaches the desired target.

7.When the desired internal food temperature is reached, press cancel to stop bake or quick bake.

8.Open oven door and using a pot holder carefully unplug the probe from the probe receptacle. The range interior, probe, cookware and food may be very hot.

9.Remove food from oven and carefully remove the probe sensor from the food.

Probe error message:

Should the oven control display the error message "PErr", it may be that the probe connector is not fully inserted into the probe receptacle (see Fig. 1) or that the probe has overheated. When this message displays, the control will not allow any oven feature to activate until corrected.

Remove the probe from the receptacle, then reconnect probe into the receptacle (check that it is fully inserted into the receptacle). Be sure the probe sensor is covered by food and not exposed to avoid overheating.

If the probe is properly connected into the receptacle and properly positioned into the food but the error message remains displayed, the probe might be defective and need replaced. If so, remove the probe from the oven and call your authorized service agent for assistance. You may continue to use the oven without the probe feature.
