caution
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable
or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using
the provided handles, as shown in figure 1, and always
use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking
foods such as roasts, hams or poultry.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the safest method to ensure
properly cooked food.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert
when the internal food temperature reaches the desired
set target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food
temperature which 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.
