Meat Probe
The Meat Probe feature is only available in the upper oven.
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 insure properly
cooked meats. The following temperature settings apply to the
probe function:
• Default: 170°F (77°C)
• Minimum: 140°F (60°C)
• Maximum: 210°F (99°C)
Important:
• For this model, the Meat Probe feature is only available in
the upper oven.
• 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
show in Figure 21.
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 dishes 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 inner thigh, below the leg (Figure 23).
To set meat probe:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can 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 21. To avoid possibility of burns after
cooking, carefully unplug meat probe using a pot holder to
protect hands.
1. Prepare the food and properly insert the meat probe into
the food. Do not preheat or start cooking before properly
inserting the meat probe. 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 upper oven’s 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 on the oven control display.
4. Press Upper Oven.
5. Set the oven control for Bake, Conv Bake, or Conv Roast and
the desired oven temperature. The meat probe cannot be
set with Broil or Self Clean.
6. To set the target temperature, press Meat Probe once, then
enter the desired target internal temperature using the
numeric key pads (default setting is 170ºF/ 77ºC).
Press to accept the meat probe target temperature.
Close the oven door.
