30 Setting Oven Controls About the probe function Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. 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 Setting the probe Proper probe placement • Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan. • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the food visually measure with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill. • For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-. IMPORTANT • Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance. • Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The probe will not work properly until correctly connected. • Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and the receptacle. • Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing it from the food or the receptacle. • Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to avoid damaging probe. • Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not in use. • To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the probe using a pot holder.
