SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Meat Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry. The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer. For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. CAUTION Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in Figure 26, and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns. 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 or broiling, 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 27). For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.
