Setting the Temp Probe
To set temp probe:

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 temp probe into the probe receptacle located on
top left front oven cavity. When the temp probe is correctly
plugged into receptacle, the probe icon will illuminate in
the oven control display.

Information courtesy the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspec-
tion Service. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popu-
lar, 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) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F/63°C for
medium rare fresh beef.
