Temperature Probe WARNING Burn Hazard Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and "Cooking Complete" will appear on the oven display. If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound. 4. Press OFF or open the oven door to clear the display. To Change Probe Temperature, Oven Setting: Press OFF, then repeat previous steps. After cooking, unplug the probe and remove food from oven. The probe symbol will remain lit until the probe is unplugged from the probe jack. See "General Cleaning" section to clean probe. 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. Oven vent The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. Bake A A.

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature. If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed. To Bake or Roast: Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. 1. Press BAKE once for 350°F (177°C), or press the number pads to enter the desired temperature. 20
