Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such
as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal
temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked
food. Before using the meat probe read the important
information listed here:
Important:
• The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking
mode and oven temperature.
• If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the
control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep
running. The timer must be canceled before the probe
temperature can be set.
• If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking function the
oven will stop cooking and turn off.
• When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal
an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the
desired set target temperature. When active, the internal
food temperature is visible in the display during the cooking
process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open
the oven door to check the thermometer.
Proper placement of probe in food.
• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center
of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not
allow the probe to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the
cookware. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into
the center of lowest large muscle or joint.
• For meatloaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of
food. When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the
gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe into the
thickest part of the breast.

ture is reached. If the meat probe temperature exceeds the
maximum allowable temperature, the oven control will beep
and HOT will appear in the display for 40 seconds to alert
that the probe temperature is too high.

the set temperature, the control will chime and a CHECK
