Setting Oven Controls 23 Meat Probe When cooking meat such as roasts, hams, or poultry, use the meat probe function to check the internal temperature without guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best method to ensure properly cooked meats. Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature. The following temperature settings apply to the probe function: • Default: 170°F (76°C) • Minimum: 130°F (54°C) • Maximum: 210°F (98°C) IMPORTANT! • Use only the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using any other probe or device may result in damage to appliance and the meat probe receptacle. • Never leave or store meat probe inside oven. • Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to avoid damaging probe. Tips for Probe Placement • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint. • For meals such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. • When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
