Using the probe. 

(on some models)

Insert the probe fully into the food.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the

oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the 

way in. Close the oven door. Make

sure the probe cable is not touching

the broil element.
Touch the PROBE pad. Display will

show “Set Probe.”
Touch the number pads to set 

the desired internal food or meat

temperature. The maximum internal

temperature for the food that you can

set is 93.3°C (200ºF).
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set

the desired oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.

The display will flash if the probe is inserted

into the outlet and you have not set a probe

temperature and touched the 

START pad.

After the internal temperature of the 

food reaches 37.8°C (100°F), the changing

internal temperature will be shown in the

display.

When the internal temperature of the

food reaches the number you have

set, the probe and the oven turn off

and the oven control signals. To stop

the signal, touch the OFF pad

.

Use hot pads to remove the probe

from the food. Do not use tongs 

to pull on it

they might damage it.

If the probe is removed from the oven

while probe cooking, the oven will not

automatically turn off.

To change the oven temperature during

the Bake/Roast cycle, touch the BAKE pad

and then the number pads to set the new

temperature.

You can use the Kitchen Timer even

though you cannot use timed oven

operations while using the probe.

To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe

from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.
Use of probes other than the one provided

with this product may result in damage to

the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug

when inserting and removing them from

the food and outlet. 

To avoid damaging your probe, do not

use tongs to pull on the cable when

removing it. 
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure

food is completely defrosted before

inserting.

After preparing the meat and placing 

it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow

these directions for proper probe

placement.
Insert the probe completely into the

meat. It should not touch bone, fat 

or gristle.
NOTE: 
Failure to fully insert the probe 

into the meat may result in poor cooking

performance because the probe will sense

the oven air vs. the food temperature.

Never leave your probe inside the oven

during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe

into the meatiest part of the roast. For

bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into

the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes

such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part 

of the inner thigh from below and parallel

to the leg of a whole turkey.
NOTE: Self-clean and Broil settings will not

work if the temperature probe is plugged in.

The temperature probe has a 

skewer-like probe at one end and 

a plug at the other end that goes 

into the outlet in the oven.

How to Set the Oven For Baking/Roasting When Using the Probe 

(on some models)

Plug

Cable

Handles

Probe

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The

temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
