REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See the Regular Roasting Guide.
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 withstaud high temperatures.
Use 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 malay foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
lk)od temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking f(>ods 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 prob_they might damage it.
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE
SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED
BEFORE INSERTING.
