How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
The display will flash PROBE and the
oven control will signal if the probe is
inserted into the outlet, and you have not
set a probe temperature and pressed the
START pad.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the
top and bottom of the oven. Insert
the probe into the meat.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F (38°C), the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of
the meat reaches the number you
have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control
signals. To stop the signal, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to
remove the probe from the food.
Do not use tongs to pull on it—they
might damage it.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible burns,
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in
the oven.
NOTE:
■
If the probe is removed from the food before
the final temperature is reached, a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the probe
is removed from the oven.
■ You will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■
You can use the kitchen timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
To change the oven temperature
during the Convection Roast cycle,
touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad
and then touch the number pads to
set the new desired temperature.

† The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C)
means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
