Probe - Frigidaire CGIF3061NFB Use & Care Manual

Probe
Use the probe for best results when cooking foods such as
roasts, hams or poultry. The probe also works well with
foods such as meat loaf and casseroles.
For some food types, especially poultry and roasts, using a
probe to check the internal temperature is the safest
possible method to ensure properly cooked food.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will alert when the
internal food temperature reaches the desired "target"
temperature.
When active, the probe will display the internal food
temperature, eliminating the need for any guesswork.

Proper probe placement in food:
• Insert the probe so that the tip is centered in the thickest
part of the food (see Fig. 2). For best results, do not
allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat,
gristle, or cookware.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as 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, insert the probe sensor into
the thickest part of inner thigh, just below the leg (See
Fig. 3).

To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the
probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from the
receptacle or food. The probe may be hot, Be sure to
always use a pot holder to protect your hands.
• To avoid damaging the probe, do not use kitchen
utensils such as tongs to pull on the probe cable or
handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the
provided handles (See Fig. 1) and always use a pot
holder to protect hands from possible burns.
• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Always remove
the probe from the oven when finished.
• Use only the original probe provided with this
appliance. Connecting any other probe or device into
the probe receptacle could result in damage to the
oven control, electronics and the receptacle.
• Before starting self-clean, check that the probe is
removed from the oven interior. The high temperatures
during self-clean may damage or destroy the probe.
To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods
completely before inserting.
