SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Cooking with Meat Probe
Use the meat probe feature for best results when cooking
foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.
The meat probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an
alert when the internal food temperature reaches the
desired set target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-
ture 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.
Proper placement of meat probe in food.
Insert the meat probe so that the probe tip rests inside the
center of the thickest part of meat or food (See
Figure 18).
For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor
to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the meat probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint.
• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the meat probe into
center of food.
• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of the breast (See
Figure 19).
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or
handles. Always insert and remove the meat probe using
the provided handles, as shown in
Figure 17, and always
use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen
foods completely before inserting the meat probe.
