Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams, or poultry, use the
meat probe function to check the internal temperature without
guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,
testing the internal temperature is the best method to ensure
properly cooked meats. Your oven will automatically change
from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set
temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe function:
• Default: 170°F (76°C)
• Minimum: 130°F (54°C)
• Maximum: 210°F (98°C)
IMPORTANT!
• Use only the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using
any other probe or device may result in damage to
appliance and the meat probe receptacle.
• Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.
• Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.
The probe receptacle is located at the top of the oven cavity as
shown in Figure 25.
Proper meat probe placement
Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the
center of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to
touch bone, fat, gristle, or bakeware.
Tips for Probe Placement
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center
of lowest large muscle or joint.
• For meals such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert meat
probe into center of food.
• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest
part of the breast (Figure 27).
To set the meat probe:
Follow these steps to set the probe target temperature to 180°F
(82°C) when using the convection roast feature with oven set
temperature for 325°F (162°C): The default internal tempera-
ture when setting the probe is 170°F (76°C).
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot
oven. When baking, the oven interior and oven racks will
become hot enough to cause burns.
Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting
and removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use kitchen
utensils, such as tongs, to pull on meat probe cable when
inserting or removing from food or receptacle. Use the provided
handle, as shown in Figure 25. To avoid possibility of burns
after cooking, carefully unplug meat probe using a pot holder to
protect hands.

position and slide into the oven.
3. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located on
the top of the oven cavity.When the meat probe is
correctly plugged in to receptacle, the probe icon will illu-
minate in the oven control display after cook options is
