OVEN CONTROLS
During cooking the internal food temperature will display
by default. To see the target temperature press the probe
key once. After 6 seconds the display will revert to the
internal food temperature. To assure accuracy, do not
remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the
desired internal temperature is reached.
If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the
probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to
cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the
probe feature will remain active and may eventually
generate a probe too hot message.
To change the target temperature while cooking, press
the probe key once. Use the numeric keys to change the
temperature. Press the start key to accept any change.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is pop-
ular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F
(60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may sur-
vive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide,
USDA Rev. June 1985.)
