For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for aloneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result
in damage to the probe
or oven

Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them fiom
