RECOMMENDATIONS
Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
in. (2 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check pork and poultry in two or three places.

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent(s).
