Using Your Electric Convection Oven

Using the temperatureprobe

The Temperature Probe is the most accurate

guide to the degree of doneness of meat. Use

it when baking, roasting any type of meat or

poultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.

NOTES:

•Do not use the Temperature Probe when

broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating, or

raising bread.

•Unplug the Temperature Probe before self-

cleaning the oven.

1. Insert probe into food.

Insert the probe into the center of the thick-

est portion of meat or into the inner thigh

or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone.

2. Put food in oven.

Place meat on the convection roasting

rack, place rack on broiler pan and grid,

and place pan in the center of the oven.

3. Connect probe to oven.

Locate the Temperature Probe jack on the

right side of the oven wall. Insert plug into

jack. (Keep the top of the probe as far as

possible from the heat source.)

4. Close oven door.

5. Set temperature (optional).

Do this step if you want to set an internal

food temperature (from 130°F [54°C]

to 190°F [88°C]) other than 160°F (72°C).

NOTE: See a reliable cookbook or your

convection oven cookbook for internal

food temperature recommendations.

6. Choose cook setting:

•BAKE,

•CONVECTION BAKE, or

•CONVECTION ROAST.

NOTE: If you press BROIL,

CONVECTION BROIL, or CLEAN

pads, the display will show “pull prb out.”

How to determine the amount of

adjustment needed

The following chart tells you how much to

adjust the offset temperature to get the

desired cooking results. You can determine

cooking results by amount of browning,

moistness, and rising times for baked foods.
