PROBE USE TIPS
The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will
continue to cook the meat after the oven has shut off,
For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as
soon as the control beeps.
Since meat continues to cook after being removed
from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature 5
- !0 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature. Allow "standing time" (10 - 20 minutes)
before carving the meat.
Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and
removing. Use a potholder to remove since the probe
becomes hot.
Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being
used.
• The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For
best results, completely thaw meats before using
the probe.
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is
complete. The probe symbol will remain in the display until the
probe is removed. Do not leave probe attachment in oven during
self-dean. Oven will not self-clean with the probe installed in
the oven.
