OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few 
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to 
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- 
ventilated room.
NOTE: This oven automatically adjusts for 208V operation 
without affecting cooking performance. Preheat times may be 
longer.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom 
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil 
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is 
at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned 
up at the edges.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow 
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size 
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat 
thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are 
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal 
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine 
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this 
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat 
thermometer.
Temperature Probe
(on convection models)
The temperature probe accurately measures the internal 
temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and 
should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. 
It should not be used during full and center broiling, convection 
broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread.
Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven 
when removing food.
To Use:
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 and connect the temperature probe to the jack. 
Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven 
door.
1. Press the number pads to enter a probe temperature. The 
probe temperature can be set between 130°F and 190°F 
(54°C and 88°C).
2. Press BAKE, CONVECT BAKE or CONVECT ROAST.
Press number pads to enter a temperature other than the one 
displayed.
