MeatThermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. 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 ¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■Check all meat in two or three places.

1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the element.
