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.

some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
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. Make sure
it is pushed all the way in.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
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.
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, 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.
NOTE: If the probe is removed from the oven
while probe cooking, the oven will not
automatically turn off.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible burns,
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled.
NOTE:
■ 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.
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.
■
Probe not for use in Broil or Self-Clean
functions.
