To set meat probe:
1. Prepare the food and properly insert the temperature
probe into the food.
DO NOT preheat
or start cooking
before
properly inserting the meat probe. The probe
should be inserted into the food and receptacle while
the oven is still cool.
2. Place the prepared food on the desired oven rack
position and slide into the oven.
3. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located
on the left front oven cavity side (See Fig. 1 for location
of probe receptacle).
4. The oven control detects if the meat probe is correctly
plugged in to receptacle and when recognized will
illuminate the
icon in the oven control display.

once then enter the desired target internal temperature
using the numeric key pads (default setting is 170ºF/
77ºC)†. Press

the meat probe with some other baking features, but the
meat probe cannot be set with

seconds the display will show the actual meat probe
temperature. If the target temperature needs to be
changed during the cooking process, press the

target temperature is reached. By default the oven will
automatically change to a Warm & Hold setting. The

† 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: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)
The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is
145°F/63°C for medium rare fresh beef.
