Cooking Modes

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, testing the internal temperature is the best
method to insure properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature
you desire without having to guess. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake,
Convection Roast and Perfect Turkey cooking modes. The oven can be programmed for
Probe at any temperature between 130°F to 210°F with a default temperature of 170°F. This
unit is equipped with one temperature probe entry in the upper oven only.
iMPoRtant:
1. Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the
probe or the appliance.
2. Handle the Temperature Probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and outlet.
3. Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing the Probe. It could damage the Probe.
4. Defrost your food completely before inserting the Probe to avoid breaking it.
5. Never leave or store the Temperature Probe inside the oven when not in use.
6. To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the Temperature Probe using hot pads.
Proper temperature Probe Placement:
1. Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of
the meat. Do not allow probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or pan.
2. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the Probe into the center of the lowest large muscle
or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the Probe into the center
of the food. When cooking fish, insert the Probe from just above the gill into the meatiest
area, parallel to the backbone.
3. For whole poultry (chicken, turkey, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner
thigh from below and parallel to the leg (see figure 1).
setting the oven when using the temperature Probe:
1. Insert the Temperature Probe into the food (see Proper Temperature Probe Placement above).
2. Plug the Temperature Probe into its outlet in the oven. (The outlet is located on the top left
hand side of the cavity wall, near front of the oven). Always insert the probe into a cool
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the way into the outlet. Close the oven door.
3. Start an available cooking mode by pressing UPPER OvEN UPPER
OVEN
followed by either BAKE
, CONvECTION BAKE or CONvECTION ROAST .
4. A target temperature must be set to trigger the buzzer when the food reaches the set
temperature. Press COOK OPTIONS to bring up the cook options items and press
PROBE pad to enter the temperature. Adjust temperature to the desired setting
using the numeric pads or just press START to use the default target temperature of
170°F. The pads
+
hi or
-
lo can also be pressed to raise or lower the temperature. The target
temperature setting will be accepted after the START pad is pressed.
5. At any time during the cooking, the PROBE pad can be pressed once to display the
actual meat temperature or pressed twice to display the target temperature. When on the
target temperature display, a new temperature can be entered. After 5-8 seconds, the
display will go back to showing the oven temperature.
6. When the food reach the target temperature, the oven will go into a KEEP WARM mode
until you press CANCEL .
The probe can be damaged by very high temperature. To protect the probe against this damage,
the oven control will not allow you to start a self-clean, broil or convection broil while the probe
is connected.
