36 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Food Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry. The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, Steam Roast, and Turkey. The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set first in the oven menu. 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. To set Food Probe: Touch Oven Modes, scroll to Food Probe and follow directions on the display. 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 and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns. Proper placement of probe in food.
