Using the Probe
Wall Oven
Temperature
probe
NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper
oven only.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry,
internal food temperature is the best test for
doneness. The temperature probe takes the
guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to
the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the meat
and outlet.
• To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
• To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
• To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
• Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.
Proper
placement
of the probe
After preparing the meat and placing it on a
trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
1 Lay the probe on the outside of the meat
along the top or side and mark with your
finger where the edge of the meat comes to
on the probe. The point should rest in the
center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
2 Insert the probe completely into the meat. It
should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the
lowest large muscle or joint.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes such
as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish,
insert the probe from just above the gill into the
meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg
of a whole turkey.
