About the Probe
•
The probe can be used to determine the internal
doneness or the "END" temperature of many foods,
especially meats and poultry.
•
The temperature range for the probe is 130°F to
210°F (55°C to 100°C).
•
Preheating the oven is not recommended when
using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability
to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and
to insert it into the meat.
Inserting the Probe
Insert the probe tip into the food item.
•
For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest
part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
•
For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the
probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.
•
For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip
should be located in the center of the thickest part
of the food.
Using the Probe
1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on
rack in roasting pan as recipe specifi es). Insert the
probe into the meat (See "Inserting the Probe",
above).
2. Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat,
bone, the roast rack or the pan.
3. Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on
recommended oven rack.
4. Plug probe into the probe receptacle. The probe
symbol will appear in display.
Note: The probe temperature can only be set when the
probe is installed in the oven.
5. Press COOKING MODE.
6. Turn knob to select cooking mode.
7. Press Temperature and turn knob to change
oven temperature if necessary.
8. Press Temperature and turn knob to change
probe temperature if necessary.
9. Press START.
•
The probe temperature is displayed. To view
the oven temperature, press TEMPERATURE
twice.
•
The oven is preheated when the beep signals
once.
•
When the set probe temperature is reached,
END appears in display and oven turns off.
NOTE: DO NOT connect to probe receptacle until probe
tip is properly inserted into meat.

Probe Use Tips
•
The oven is well insulated and the retained heat
will continue to cook the meat after the oven has
shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the
oven as soon as the control beeps.
•
Since meat continues to cook after being removed
from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature
5 - 10 degrees below the desired fi nal internal
temperature (exception: poultry). Allow "standing
time" (10 -20 minutes) before carving the meat.
•
Always use the handle of the probe for inserting
and removing. Use a potholder to remove since
the probe becomes hot.
•
Remove the probe from the oven when it is not
being used.
•
The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For
best results, completely thaw meats before using
the probe.
