On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
1/2in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.
• Check all meat in two or three places.
!. Oven door vent
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will
cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.
Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn
near the oven vent.
