Cooking With Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry. This feature also works well with other foods such as meat loaf and casseroles.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set “target” temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visi- ble in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

the provided handles (Figure 7) and always use a pot

holder to protect hands from possible burns.

• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Always

remove the probe from the oven when finished.

• Use only the original probe provided with this appli-

probe receptacle could result in damage to the oven

control, electronics and the receptacle.

• Before starting self clean, double check that the probe

is removed from the oven interior. The high tempera-

tures generated by self clean may damage or destroy

the probe.

• To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods

completely before inserting the probe.

Proper placement of probe in food:

• Always insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside

at the center of the thickest part of meat or food
