Using the Temperature
Probe Feature
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, testing the internaU temperature is the best method to insure properUy
cooked food. The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature you desire without having to guess.
IMPORTANT:
1.
Use onUythe probe supplied with your appliance; any other may resuUtin damage to the probe or the appliance.
2.
HandUethe Temperature
Probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and outUet.
3.
Do not use tongs to pull the came when inserting or removing the Probe. Ut c ouUd damage the Probe.
4.
Defrost your food compUeteUy before inserting the Probe to avoid breaking it.
5.
Never Ueaveor store the Temperature
Probe inside the oven when not in use.
6.
To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the Temperature
Probe using hot pads.
Proper Temperature Probe Placement:
1.
Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the
meat. Do not allow probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or pan.
2.
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. When cooking fish, insert the Probe from just above the gill into the meatiest
area, parallel to the backbone.
3.
For whole poultry (chicken, turkey, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg (see figure 1).

At any time during the cooking, the
button can be pressed to change the display between "ACTUAL" and
"PROBE". The "ACTUAL" setting will give you the current temperature of the food. The "PROBE" setting will give you
the food target temperature and it can be changed at any time during the cooking (see above for explanations).
The probe can be damaged by very high temperature. To protect the probe against this damage, the oven
control will not allow you to start a self-clean or a broil while the probe is connected.

Preparing
Bread Dough In The Oven
The oven has a Bread Proof feature that can be used to
help prepare bread dough.The recommended length of time
to keep bread dough in the oven is about 45-60 minutes. Be
sure however to follow the recipe's recommended times.
The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl
since the dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the
oven rack in the lowest position. Place the bowl on the rack
in the oven and follow the Bread Proof Control setting
instructions as illustrated.
