OVEN CONTROLS
To connect the probe to the oven:
1. Insert the probe into the food.
2. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position
and slide into the oven.
3. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the
probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The recep-
tacle is located on the top left front of the oven cavity
(Figure 34).
4. When the probe is set, a tone sounds, the probe icon
illuminates, and the actual probe temperature appears
in the display (Figure 35).
5. Close the oven door.
6. Press once.
7. Enter the desired temperature for food type (Table 5).
The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is
210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).
8. Press start to accept the target temperature.
9. Set for quick preheat, bake, convect bake, convect
roast, or convect convert as desired, and if necessary
adjust the oven temperature accordingly.
10. The control will provide three beeps when the internal
target temperature is reached. The oven will automati-
cally change to a warm setting (HLd), and the actual
probe temperature will alternate in the display. Warm
will maintain the oven temperature at 170°F (77°C) for
3 hours unless otherwise cancelled.
To stop cooking at any time, press off.

*The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is
popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C)
means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source:
