Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

Temperature Probe

(on convection models)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. It should not be used during full and center broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread.

Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.

To Use:

Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone at an angle as shown in following diagram. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door.

Oven Vent

A

A. Oven vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

RACKS

NOTES:

Position racks before turning on the oven.

Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

Make sure racks are level.
