Using The Probe; How To Set The Oven For Baking/Roasting When Using The Probe - GE Profile PB970SPSS User Manual

Using the probe.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. 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.

To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe from
the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.

NOTE: Failure to fully insert the probe into the
meat may result in poor cooking performance
because the probe will sense the oven air vs. the
food temperature.
