Probe
Internal food temperature is frequently used as an
indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry.
The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature
and turns the oven off when the internal food
temperature reaches the programmed temperature.
Minimum temperatures for food safety can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov. The temperature probe can only
be used with Bake and Convection Bake.
To use the probe with preheating:
1. Press the desired cook mode (Bake or Convection
Bake) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature.
2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe
Placement Guidelines in this section).
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the
oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet,
making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven
walls and probe outlet are hot.
4. Program the probe temperature by pressing
the Probe pad and entering the desired food
temperature. The maximum internal food temperature
that you can set is 200º F.
To use the probe without preheating:
1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe
Placement Guidelines in this section).
2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into
the probe outlet in the oven.
3. Program the desired probe and cooking mode
settings by pressing the Probe pad and entering the
desired food temperature, then pressing the cook
mode pad (Bake or Convection Bake) and entering
the desired cooking temperature and press Start.
