Oven Vent The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. It should not be used during full and center broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread. Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food. To Use: Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone at an angle as shown in following diagram. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door. A B A A.
