REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See the Regular Roasting Guide.
u
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
A temperature probe has been provided for use in your
new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high
temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other
products, such
as
those used for microwave ovens,
may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.
IJse
of probes other than the one provided with this
product may result in
damage
to the probe.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a
self-
cleaning
cycle.
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.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at
one end
and
a plug
at
the other end that goes into the
outlet on the
oven
wall.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the meat and
wall outlet. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable
when removing the probe—they might damage it.
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE
SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED
BEFORE INSERTING.

should rest in the center
of
the
thickest meaty
part of the roast.
2. Insert the probe into
the meat up to the

with your finger. It
should not touch the
bone, fat or gristle.
