Proper Placement Of Probe In Food - Electrolux FGES3065P series Service Manual

IMPORTANT
•
Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the
original probe provided. Connecting any other probe
or device could result in damage to the oven control,
electronics, and the receptacle.
•
Before starting self clean, double check that the probe
is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods
completely before inserting the probe.

Proper placement of probe in food:

•
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside
the center of the thickest part of meat or food (See
Figure 25). For best results, do not allow the probe
temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the
cookware.

For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center
of food.
•
When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
•
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of inner thigh, just below the leg

target temperature must be done when the oven is inactive.
The probe is not required to be connected to the probe
