NOTE
On some models the probe receptacle can be found on
the top of the oven cavity near the front.
Proper placement of probe in food:
• Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe
to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.
• 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. To fi nd the center of the food visually measure
with the probe -Fig. 1-. When cooking fi sh, insert the
probe just above the gill.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
SETTING PROBE
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods
such as roasts, hams or poultry. This feature also works well
with other foods such as meat loaf and casseroles.
For meats like poultry and
roasts, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the
safest method to ensure
properly cooked food.
The probe feature, when
set correctly, will signal an
alert when the internal food
temperature reaches the desired
set “target” temperature.
When active, the probe displays
the internal food temperature
which is visible in the display
during the cooking process. This
eliminates any guesswork or
the need to open the oven door
to check the thermometer.

CAUTION
To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the
probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from the
receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to
always use a pot holder to protect hands.
IMPORTANT
• Use only the probe supplied with your appliance;
any other may result in damage to the probe or the
appliance.
• Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe
receptacle. The probe will not work properly until
correctly connected.
• Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing
it from the food and the receptacle.
• Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or
removing it from the food or the receptacle.
• Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe
to avoid damaging probe.
• Never leave or store the probe inside the oven
when not in use.
• To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the
probe using a pot holder.
IMPORTANT
Changing how the oven reacts after reaching the target •
temperature must be done before starting the cooking
process.
The oven is preset to automatically stop cooking and
•
start the keep warm feature when probe sensor reaches
the target temperature. This may be set to continue
cooking if desired. Setting your options once the probe
reaches the target temperature must be done when the
oven is inactive.
The probe is not required to be connected to the probe
•
receptacle when setting this option.
• For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the
thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 2-.
To set the oven to continue cooking after reaching
the target temperature:
1. Press PROBE and hold for 6 seconds.
2. Press SELF CLEAN and toggle until Continu appears
then press START to accept.
