Probe Mode

The probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles. Always unplug and remove the probe from the oven before removing food. Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone. Place food in the oven and connect the meat probe to the jack. Keep the probe as far away from heat sources as possible.
