USING THE RANGE
OVEN PROBE (SmartHQ app only)
WARNING
Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following
instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for
minimum safe food temperatures can be found at
foodsafety.gov or IsItDoneYet.gov.
Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator
of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe
mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the
oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the
programmed temperature.
Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the
food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that
all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe
internal temperature for that food.
Proper Probe Placement
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan
follow these instructions for proper probe placement.
•
Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe
will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food.
For best performance the probe should be fully inserted
into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may
not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest
portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items,
are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their
shape or size.
•
The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
•
For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part
of the breast.
•
For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of
the roast.
•
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle or joint.
•
For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the
probe into the center of the dish.
•
For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the
meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.
