Temperature Probe

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
The temperature probe accurately measures the internal
temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and
should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry.
It should not be used during full and center broiling, convection
broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread.
Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven
when removing food.
To Use:
Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest
portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away
from fat or bone at an angle as shown in following diagram. Place
food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack.
Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven
door.

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or
covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking
and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items
that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating foods.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil
element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn
off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. They will come back on once the
door is closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the
oven. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to
preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the
recipe.
