Perfect Turkey™
Perfect turkey uses the meat probe feature with convection
roasting to ensure your turkey is cooked perfectly. It displays
the internal temperature of the turkey and calculates the
amount of cooking time remaining. Heated air circulates around
the turkey from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Poultry
cooked with this feature are crispy brown on the outside while
staying moist on the inside.
IMPORTANT! To ensure a proper probe reading, it is essential
that the probe tip is inserted up into the thickest part of the
breast for perfect turkey. For best results, the turkey should be
as close to refrigerated temperature as possible (35ºF - 40ºF)
(2ºC - 4ºC) when setting the perfect turkey feature.
IMPORTANT! The temperature of the meat probe can be
entered only when the probe is plugged in. If the probe is
unplugged, the meat probe set temperature will be reset back to
the default temperature of 180°F (82°C).
When the perfect turkey function starts, the control will display
CALC (for calculation) with the probe displaying the actual
internal temperature of the turkey. After some time, the control
will display the time remaining until the internal temperature of
the turkey reaches the meat probe set temperature.
During the roasting process, the time remaining is updated
once every minute and displayed in hours and minutes. When
the time remaining is less than 1 hour, only the actual minutes
remaining will show in the display.
During the final 10 minutes, the display will countdown in both
minutes and seconds. The meat probe temperature cannot be
changed during this time. When perfect turkey is finished,
00:00 will appear in the display, the perfect turkey LED
indicator will turn off, and the oven will automatically turn on the
keep warm feature. It will stay on until it is cancelled.
IMPORTANT! It is not recommended to modify the perfect
turkey settings once cooking has started. Doing so may not
provide the best results.
Setting Perfect Turkey™
The default oven temperature of 325°F (163°C) is the optimal
temperature for roasting turkey and cannot be changed. The
probe ensures that the turkey will be cooked to the desired
doneness.
To use the perfect turkey feature:
If the meat probe is not plugged and perfect turkey is pressed,
the control will chime and reject the key. The probe key starts
flashing as a reminder to plug in the probe. START enter is
invisible and unavailable until the probe is connected to the
probe receptacle. The probe key continues flashing until the
probe is plugged in or the programming mode is canceled or
times out.
It is not recommended to change the meat probe set tempera-
ture after perfect turkey has started. If a different temperature is
desired, then press probe and enter the new temperature using
the numeric keypad and press START enter.
Figure 28: Proper probe placement
1. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast and
place the turkey in the oven.
2. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located on
the top of the oven cavity. When the meat probe is
correctly plugged into the receptacle, the probe icon will
illuminate in the oven control display (Figure 25).
3. Press OVEN to light up the available cooking modes.
4. Press perfect turkey. The meat probe set
temperature will be 180°F (82°C) by
default.
5. To adjust the meat probe set temperature,
enter a temperature using +hi or -lo or the
numeric keypad.
6. Press START enter. After the internal
temperature of the turkey begins to rise,
the display will show the calculated time
remaining until the cooking process ends.
7. Press CANCEL off any time when setting
the control or during the cooking process.
