Operating Your Oven

Using the Meat Probe

when you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal

temperature is the best way to tell when the food is prop-

erly cooked. your oven’s meat probe is an easy way to

take the guesswork out of roasting. you can use it to cook

food to the exact temperature you desire. the probe can

be set from 100°f to 200°f.

warning

To avoid the possibility of burns, use hot pads to handle,

•

connect, and unplug the meat probe when the oven is hot.
Use the handles to insert and remove the meat probe’s

•

skewer and to connect it to the oven. Pushing or pulling

on either end of the cable could damage the meat probe.

To avoid breaking the meat probe, make sure the food is

completely defrosted before inserting the skewer.
To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside

•

the oven when it is not being used, especially during the

self-clean cycle.
Using a meat probe other than the one provided with your

•

oven may result in damage to the probe and/or the oven.

note

The meat probe does not work with Broil or Convection Broil

•

above modes, the meat probe symbol will flash indicating an

error.
If the meat probe is accidently disconnected after the

•

PROBE key is pressed, the meat probe symbol will flash

and the error message “

To use the meat probe:

prepare the meat for cooking prior to setting the

oven. insert the meat probe skewer into the center

of the meat. make sure that the skewer is not inside

any fatty portions of the meat and does not touch any

bones. the point should rest in the thickest part of

the meat. when you are cooking fowl, the tip of the

skewer should rest toward the center of the bird.
before placing the meat in the oven and with the door

closed, push the BaKe, ConV BaKe, Pure ConV

or ConV roast key. the preset temperature will

appear on the display. if you want to cook using a

different oven temperature, enter it on the number

oven using pot holders. plug the meat probe into the

connector inside the oven.

(160°f), as well at the probe symbol, will

appear on the display. if you want to cook

using a different probe temperature, enter

it on the keypad. use the USDA Minimum

Safe Cooking Temperature Chart on page 18 as a

guideline for the type of meat you are cooking.
press

start. if you do not press start, the probe

mode will not start.

when the meat probe is in use, the oven will automati-

cally control the cooking time. the temperature on the

display during cooking is the temperature measured inside

the meat. the oven will continue to cook until the meat

temperature reaches the temperature you have entered.
when the meat is done, the oven will go into hold mode.

the temperature will reduce to 150°f for two hours to

keep the meat warm and safe for serving. to prevent sick-

ness, do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it has

and turn the oven completely off.
