OVEN CONTROLS Meat Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here: IMPORTANT • The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature. • If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled before the probe temperature can be set. • If the meat probe is unplugged during a cooking function, or plugged in during BROIL, the oven will stop cooking and turn off. • If the meat probe is plugged in while the oven is in a function that allows for the meat probe, the control will sound a triple beep indicating that the meat probe is not allowed. After the alert, the oven will continue to cook to the set oven temperature. • If no cooking mode is selected within 30 seconds of setting the target temperature, the oven mode indicator light will stop blinking. The display will continue to show the meat probe settings until an allowable cooking mode is selected. • When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. When active, the internal food temperature is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check a thermometer. Note: If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the following way: 1. Cancel the active cooking function. The display will show the meat probe icon and temperature 000°. 2. The meat probe temperature can now be set and the control will sound an acceptance chime. The oven mode indicator light will blink until an allowable cooking function is selected. 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 (Figure 23). For best results, do not allow the probe to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware. • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint. • For meatloaf 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 into the thickest part of the breast.
