Proper probe placement

• 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 find the
center of the food visually measure with the
probe -Fig. 3. When cooking fish, insert the
probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into

the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg
-Fig. 1.

Checking the internal temperature of your food is
the most effective way of insuring that your food
has been properly cooked. When cooking meat
such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the
probe to check the internal temperature without any
guesswork.

Your oven will automatically change from cooking
to keep warm once the probe has reached the set
temperature.

The following temperature settings apply to the
probe function:

• Default: 170°F / 76°C

• Minimum: 130°F / 54°C

• Maximum: 210°F / 98°C

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.
