Using the Probe (some models)
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking
is complete. The probe symbol will remain in the
display until the probe is removed. Do not leave probe
attachment in oven during self-clean. Oven will not self-
clean with the probe installed in the oven.
Using the Probe
1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack
in roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe
into the meat (See “Inserting the Probe”, above).
2. Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat,
bone, the roasting rack or the pan.
3. Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on
recommended oven rack. Plug probe into the
probe receptacle. The probe symbol will appear
in display.
Note: The probe temperature can only be set
when the probe is installed in the oven.
4. Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE,
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTIONROAST.
5. Touch START. The default oven temperature will
appear.
6. Turn knob to change oven temperature if
necessary.
7. Touch START.
8. Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired
end temperature of the food).
9. Touch START.
• The chosen oven temperature is displayed in
the upper right hand corner of the display.
• The probe temperature is displayed in the
center to the left of the cooking mode. It starts
at 80° and increases in 5°F increments
until the chosen probe temperature is reached.
• The oven is preheated when the beep signals
once.
• When the set probe temperature is reached,
END appears in display and oven turns off.
About the Probe
• The probe can be used to determine the internal
doneness or the “END” temperature of many foods,
especially meats and poultry.
• The temperature range for the probe is 135°F to
200°F.
• Preheating the oven is not recommended when
using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability
to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and
to insert it into the meat.
• Oven temperature can be set for 100°F up to 450°F
.
Inserting the Probe
Insert the probe tip into the food item.
• For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest
part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
• For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the
probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.
• For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip
should be located in the center of the thickest part
of the food.
Probe Use Tips
• The oven is well insulated and the retained heat
will continue to cook the meat after the oven has
shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from
the oven as soon as the control beeps.
• Since meat continues to cook after being removed
from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature
5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature (exception: poultry). Allow “standing
time” (10 -20 minutes) before carving the meat.
• Always use the handle of the probe for inserting
and removing. Use a potholder to remove since the
probe becomes hot.
• Remove the probe from the oven when it is not
being used.
• The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For
best results, completely thaw meats before using
the probe.
