Meat Probe (cont.)
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull
on the cable when removing and do not clean in the
dishwasher.
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.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
Positioning the Meat Probe
After preparing the meat and placing on the rack or cooking
tray, follow these steps 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,
meatiest portion of
the meat.
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.
3. Flip up the lid of the
outlet, located on the upper right side of the oven cavity.
Insert the probe into the outlet and close the oven door.
The probe temperature will display
<– – –°> in the text window and the meat probe indicator
will flash.
CAUTION
Only use the meat probe supplied. Do not place meat probe in the
dishwasher for cleaning.
4. Set the probe temperature to the desired internal
temperature. We recommend setting the temperature
about 10°F (4°C) lower than desired internal temperature.
The meat will continue to cook when removed from the
oven and will reach the desired doneness while standing.
Setting Meat Probe Temperature
The meat probe must be plugged into the outlet in order to
set the meat probe temperature.
1. Press the “Temp” button twice. The meat probe indicator
flashes.
<Probe Temperature> appears in the text display.
2. Turn knob to set the desired meat probe temperature. The
meat probe temperature depends on what you are
cooking and how well-cooked you want it. To change the
temperature, press “Temp” twice. The meat probe
indicator will flash for 15 seconds. Turn knob to change
the temperature.
3. Select the cooking function and set desired temperature.
4. Press knob to start cooking. The meat probe temperature
is shown during cooking. When the meat probe
temperature is below 90°F (30°C), <– – –°> appears in the
temperature display.
The oven turns off automatically when the meat probe
temperature has been reached. The alarm will beep in 1
minute increments for 1 minute or until knob is pressed. The
meat probe indicator flashes and the current meat probe
temperature appears in the temperature display.
• <Probe Temperature> and <complete> appear in the
text display.
