Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest 
portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away 
from fat or bone at an angle as shown in following diagram. Place 
food in oven. Using the handle of the probe, connect the meat 
probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as 
possible. Close oven door.

3. Select MEAT PROBE using the left Quickset pad.

4. Set the desired internal food temperature by selecting one of 

the displayed temperatures or use the number pads to enter 
the temperature. The probe temperature can be set between 
100°F and 185°F (38°C and 85°C).

If the meat probe is not inserted, INSERT PROBE will be 
displayed.

5. Select BAKE or CONVECT.

6. If CONVECT was selected, select CNVT BAKE, CNVT ROAST 

or CNVT PASTRY.

7. Set the oven temperature by selecting one of the displayed 

temperatures or use the number pads to enter the 
temperature.

The display will briefly show the selected temperatures for the 
oven and probe.

After 10 seconds, the display will show the actual oven 
temperature and actual probe temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the probe is removed from the oven 
receptacle at any time during the cooking process, the 
control will prompt INSERT PROBE. If the probe is not 
reinserted within 30 seconds, the program will be canceled 
and the oven will turn off.

8. When the selected internal temperature of the food has been 

reached, the oven will shut off and “PROBE END” appears on 
the display.

NOTE: To avoid overcooking the food, remove it from the 
oven as soon as the oven shuts off.

pot holder when removing from the oven.

Press CANCEL, then repeat previous steps.

After cooking, unplug the probe and remove food from oven.

See “General Cleaning” section to clean probe.

For best results, use a drying rack. A drying rack allows air to 
circulate evenly around the food. If you would like to purchase a 
drying rack, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” 
section to order. Ask for Part Number DRYINGRACK.

The convection fan will operate during the drying procedure.

1. Open the oven door slightly. The oven door needs to be 

opened slightly to allow moisture to escape from the oven 
during the drying process.

2. Place the magnetic door spacer Part Number 8010P146-60 

over the plunger switch. The spacer provides a gap between 
the oven frame and the oven door to allow moisture to 
escape.

3. Gently close the door until the spacer magnet makes contact 

with the oven door. The magnet will hold the spacer in the 
proper position during the drying process and allows the door 
to be opened at any time during drying without losing proper 
positioning.

IMPORTANT: If the spacer is not placed correctly, the 
convection fan will not operate.

4. Press CONVECT.

5. Use the right Quickset pad to scroll to DRYING.

6. Select DRYING using the left Quickset pad.

7. Use the Quickset pads to select a displayed temperature or 

enter a temperature with the number pads. Temperatures can 
be set between 100°F and 200°F (38°C and 93°C).

8. “DRYING” and the temperature will be displayed. “PREHEAT” 

will be displayed until the programmed temperature is 
reached.

9. Press CANCEL when finished drying.

Follow the Drying Guide chart for drying times.

Check foods at minimum times given. Cool foods to room 
temperature before testing for doneness.
