Meat Probe
Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most
effective way of insuring that your food has been properly
cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry
you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without
any guesswork.
Your oven will automatically change from cooking to warm oven
once the probe has reached the set temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe function:
•
Default: 170°F (76°C)
•
Minimum: 130°F (54°C)
•
Maximum: 210°F (99°C)
Setting the Probe
•
Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of
the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to
touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.
•
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of
the lowest large muscle or joint.
•
For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the
probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the
food visually measure with the probe.
•
When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill.
•
For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the
thickest part of the breast

Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The
probe will not work properly until correctly connected
(Figure

•
Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing it
from the food and the receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull
the cable when inserting or removing it from the food or the
receptacle.
•
Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to
avoid damaging probe. Never leave or store the probe
inside the oven when not in use.
•
To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the
probe using a pot holder or oven mitts.
