Operating Your Oven Using the Meat Probe (Continued) Dehydrating/Defrosting Important details about the meat probe: • You must select the specific cooking mode (BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST) before you press the PROBE key. • When using the meat probe feature the preheat cycle is disabled. For best results, select the mode and allow the oven to preheat prior to starting the meat probe feature. • The meat probe function will automatically cancel after 30 seconds if the meat probe is not connected. The meat probe symbol will flash on the display. • The meat probe feature takes precedence over the delay timed cooking feature. The oven will continue to cook the meat until it reaches the selected meat probe temperature regardless of the STOP TIME or DURATION setting, then go into hold mode.
