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.

(on some models)
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result
in damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
After preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch the bone,
fat or gristle.
How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe
Insert the probe completely into the

oven. Make sure it's pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door. Make
sure the probe cable is not touching
the broil element.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal food or meat
temperature.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the

Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.
(on some models)
After the internal temperature of the
food reaches 100°F, the changing
internal temperature will be shown
in the display.
When the internal temperature
of the food reaches the number
you have set, the probe and the
oven turn off and the oven control
signals. To stop the signal, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads
to remove the probe from the food.
Do not use tongs to pull on it–
they might damage it.
To change the oven temperature during
the Roast cycle, touch the BAKE pad and
then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
If the probe is removed from the food before
the final temperature is reached, a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the probe
is removed from the oven.
You can use the timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations while
using the probe.
