The Temperature Probe is the most accurate
guide to the degree of doneness of meat. Use
it when baking, roasting any type of meat or
poultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.
NOTES:
* Do not use the Temperature Probe when
broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating, or
raising bread.
*Unplug the Temperature Probe before self-
cleaning the oven.
1. Insert probe into food.
Insert the probe into the center of the thick-
est portion of meat or into the inner thigh
or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone.
16
2. Put food in oven.
Place meat on the convection roasting
rack, place rack on broiler pan and grid,
and place pan in the center of the oven.
1Connect probe to oven.
Locate the Temperature Probe jack on the
right side of the oven wall. Insert plug into
jack. (Keep the top of the probe as far as
possible from the heat source.)
4. Close oven door.
5. Set temperature (optional).
Do this step if you want to set an internal
food temperature (from 130°F [54°C]
to 190°F [88°C]) other than 160°F (72°C).
NOTE: See a reliable cookbook or your
convection oven cookbook for internal
food temperature recommendations.
6. Choose cook setting:
*BAKE,
*CONVECTION BAKE, or
oCONVECTION ROAS_
(example
for Bake)

convection oven cookbook for oven tem-
perature recommendations.
8. PRESS
NOTES:
•If you do not choose a cook setting
and press START, the oven will default
to bake at 350°F (177°C) and start.
If you want to cook with another setting
or at another temperature, do Steps 6
and 7 and press START.
•The temperature display will show
the set oven temperature throughout
temperature probe cooking.
•After the food temperature reaches
130°F (54°C), the probe disptay will
show the actual food temperature at
each 5°F (3°C) increase and stop at
the set temperature. Four tones will
sound and "End" will show when food
reaches the set temperature. The oven
then shuts off.
•If you want to change the probe
temperature after cooking has begun:
- Unplug the probe, then plug it back
in. You will be prompted for a new
probe temperature. Next, repeat
Steps 4, 5, and 8 in that order. You
may also change the oven tempera-
ture at this point by pressing the
desired cook setting pad again.
OR
- You may change the cook setting at
this point by pressing the desired
cook setting pad again.
Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove
temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in burns.
9. After cooking, unplug probe.
The probe symbol will remain lit until
you unplug the Temperature Probe.
10. Remove food from oven.
(This prevents overcooking.)
11. Clean probe.
Wash with a soapy sponge and dry thor-
oughly. Use a plastic scouring pad to
remove cooked-on foods. You can also
clean the probe in a dishwasher.

CONVECT FULL MEAL lets you choose
from among ten preset oven convection
cooking cycles, all using the convection fan.
These cycles store commonly used cooking
times, cooking temperatures, and probe
temperature settings. CONVECT FULL
MEAL saves you time by limiting the num-
ber of pads you have to press when cooking
at a favorite setting. CONVECT FULL MEAL
also lets you set your own favorite cycle
(either convection or nonconvection).
1. Place food in cold oven.
If you need the Temperature Probe for
your cycle (settings 6 to 0 in the
"Convect full meal chart" later in this sec-
tion), insert probe into food. Place food in
oven and plug probe into jack.
Use the "Convect full meal chart"
later in this section as your guide for se-
lecting a cycle.
NOTES:
•You can change the CONVECT FULL
MEAL cycle any time before pressing
the START pad by repeating Step 3.
You can program your own setting,
which you can then select in the future
by pressing just CONVECT FULL MEAL
and START pads. (See "To program
your own setting" later in this section for
more information.)

5. When the CONVECT FULL
MEAL cycle is done:
Four tones will sound, and the display will
show "End." (Unless they have been
disabled) Four reminder tones will sound
every minute until you open the door,
remove the probe, or press LOWER
OVEN CANCEL.

The EASY CONVECT temperature conversion
feature lets you convection cook without enter-
ing convection cook temperatures and times.
Simply enter the standard cook temperature
and time for the food to be cooked. The oven
will reduce the temperature, or the temperature
and time, for convection cooking. (Convection
temperatures and times are not as long
because the heated air is circulated in the oven
cavity for quicker cooking.)
NOTE: The converted temperatures and times
are not precise because the food categories
you choose from are general. (See "EASY
CONVECT conversion setting chart" later in
this section for which foods you can cook in
each category.) To ensure proper cooking, the
oven will prompt you to check food at the end
of cook time. If food needs more cooking, the
oven will continue to cook. If food does not
need more cooking, press LOWER OVEN
CANCEL.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning
or sickness.
1. Place food in oven.
NOTE: For Baked Goods and Other
Foods, place food in the oven after the
oven has been preheated.
4. Enter standard cook time.
