Temperature Probe
(on some models)
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 maxi and econo 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. 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.
1. Press the number pads to enter a probe temperature other
than 160°F (71°C). The probe range can be set between 130°F
and 190°F (54°C and 88°C).
2. Press BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST.
Press number pads to enter a temperature other than the one
displayed.
3. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
throughout cooking.
“Lo°” will appear as the probe temperature until the internal
temperature of the food reaches 130°F (54°C). Then the
display will show the temperature increasing in 5° increments.
When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut
off automatically and “End” will appear on the oven display.
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones
will sound every minute.
4. Press CANCEL OFF or open the oven door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
To Change Probe Temperature, Oven Setting:
Repeat previous steps.
If CANCEL OFF is pressed anytime when changing the probe
temperature, the set function will automatically be canceled and
the use of the temperature probe function will need to be reset.
To reset after CANCEL OFF has been pressed, unplug the probe
from the probe jack and plug back in. Close the oven door and
repeat previous steps.
After cooking, unplug the probe and remove food from oven. The
probe symbol will remain lit until the probe is unplugged from the
probe jack.
See “General Cleaning” section to clean probe.
Timed Cooking
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

1. Press BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST.
On some models, press the number pads to enter a
temperature other than the one displayed.
On some models, press the TEMPERATURE “up” or “down”
arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F
(177°C).
2. Press COOK TIME.
3. Press number pads to enter the length of time to cook.
