Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Storage in or on Appliance Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage. Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE UPPER OR LOWER OVENS. Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window. Wear Proper Apparel Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot. Use Only Dry Potholders Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers Build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or discarded. IMPORTANT Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil. Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible, and easy accessible located near the appliance. Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0 C/32 F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP Know which keys control each surface cooking zone. Place pan with food on the cooking zone before turning it on. Turn the cooking zone off before removing food. Use Proper Pan Size This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat Save these instructions for future reference.

5 Important Safety Instructions 5 bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. Protective liners Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit. Glazed Cooking Utensils Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer s recommendations for cooktop use. Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop. When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan. Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface. Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the upper or lower oven. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven door or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite. Placement of Upper or Lower Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while ovens are cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven element or interior of the upper or lower oven. Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite. Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb. Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper bakeware and always use the oven racks. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer s instructions for cleaning. Cleaners/aerosols Always follow the manufacturer s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury. Save these instructions for future reference.

6 6 Important Safety Instructions SELF-CLEANING OVENS Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner s guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven. Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Save these instructions for future reference. The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

If the control panel is not touched again within 2 minutes, the control will return to the sleep mode. To start cooking you must select either the upper oven or the lower oven. User preferences will be available during the awake mode as well as timers, oven light and the control lock - Fig. 2. Timers The two timers provided with the oven control serve as extra reminders in the kitchen. When a timer reaches less than 1 hour, the display will start to count down in minutes and seconds. When the time runs out the active timer will beep, 0:00 will flash. The following time settings apply to the timers: Min. time: 1 minute Max. time: 11 hours 59 minutes See example below to set the timer for 5 minutes: 1. Press TIMER 2. Enter 5 minutes 3. Press TIMER To cancel after setting the timer, press the TIMER key again. NOTE The timer(s) will not affect the cooking process. Temperature visual display Sleep mode Awake mode Fig.1 Fig.2 Your oven is equipped with a temperature visual display for each oven. When a cooking mode is set, the actual temperature will be shown in the display and will rise as the unit preheats. When the unit has reached its target temperature, a chime will sound to remind you to place the food in the oven. This feature will be active with some cooking modes; bake, convection bake, convection roast and perfect turkey. The cooking modes which does not feature the temperature visual display will be noted in their descriptions. NOTE: The lowest temperature that can be displayed is 100 F.

12 12 Getting Started Oven light Your appliance includes theater style oven lighting that gradually lights both the upper and lower oven interiors to full brightness. The upper oven is equipped with 2 halogen lights and the lower oven is equipped with 1 halogen light. The oven lights will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened. The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light pad located on the control panel. The oven light key will toggle the lights in both ovens at the same time at full intensity. NOTE: For best results, keep the oven light turned OFF during baking. Remember to turn the light OFF after checking food. To toggle the Oven Lights ON and OFF: 1. Press OVEN LIGHT. Control lock The control lock will lock both oven controls and the oven door. Control lock is available only in the awake mode. See example below to lock the ovens. Step To lock, press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. To unlock, press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. Press 3sec 3sec About the ceramic glass cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns. About the radiant surface elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. will flash in the display until the door has finished locking. Once the door has been locked the door lock indicator will turn on. LOCKED will then display. Do not attempt to open the oven door while the door lock indicator is flashing.

13 Surface Cooking 13 NOTE Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat. Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section and Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care Guide. Surface cooking utensils *GOOD Flat bottom and straight sides. Tight fitting lids. Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element. Made of material that conducts heat well. Easy to clean. Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter. Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler. * Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements. POOR Curved and warped pan bottoms. Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1 ). Heavy handle tilts pan. Pan is smaller than element. Cookware material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately. COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above). STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops. PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops. GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass. Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

14 14 Surface Cooking Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures. Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see See Use quality cookware in good condition). Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop. Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on ranges with ceramic glass or open coil electric cooktops. Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly. Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil. IMPORTANT! Never place or straddle cookware over two different surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture. The only exception is when using large cookware or the griddle with the bridge elements activated. Setting the cooktop The cooktop control provides 5 digital display windows to help set power levels for the heating zones located on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob settings except the settings are displayed in LCD style displays. Available cooktop settings Your control provides 25 different settings for each heating zone. Some of these power levels include Lo (1%) Fig. 1, 5.0 (medium 50%) Fig. 2, Hi (100%) Fig. 3. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 The hi+ and lo- keys provide incremental adjustments for more precise control when changing settings between the lower heat levels (Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much faster. Display Setting Changes Setting / Power Incremental change Lo to 3.0 (1-30%) to HI (30-100%) 0.5 Element size indicators Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different element sizes. At these locations, you may choose to use the single inner heating ring only or you may add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of the BURNER SIZE key. The number of circles displayed at the element zone LCD represents the number of heating rings available for that position. 1 circle = single element 2 circles = double element (some positions) 3 circles = triple element (left front position)

15 Setting Surface Controls 15 Setting cooktop elements If needed, wake the control panel. Touch the ON OFF key for the desired heating zone. If the heating zone has more than one burner ring size available, press and continue to press the BURNER SIZE key for the desired heating zone to change the ring size. Press the desired power level key (hi+, med or lo-) or for more precise level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys to make specific level changes. Hot element (HE) message After using any of the radiant element positions the ceramic cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control off, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The cooktop control monitors the temperature of the cooktop surface and displays a message HE (hot element) and Fig. 1 flashes the burner rings when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-. If the HE message remains displayed in the LCD, the heating zone may be set again and used for cooking. Suggested cooktop power settings Use the chart below to determine the suggested setting for the type of food you are preparing when using the cooktop. Recommended surface setting chart Setting Type of Cooking High (Hi) Medium high (8-9.5) Medium (6) Medium Low (4-5) Low (Lo - 3) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling. Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying. Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and gravies; steaming vegetables. Keep foods cooking; poaching and stewing. Keep warm, melting and simmering. Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The Hot Element Message Light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned OFF. Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop, it may melt and damage the ceramic glass. Do not straddle cookware between two cooking areas unless the cookware was designed for that purpose, such as a griddle. DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

16 16 Setting the Lower Oven About the lower oven The lower oven is ideal for cooking foods such as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen convenience foods. Use the keep warm feature to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. The lower oven can only be used with some cooking modes; Bake, Slow Cook and Keep Warm (read their sections for precise instructions). The following temperature settings apply to the bake feature for the lower oven: Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350 F/176 C Min. bake setting: 170 F / 76 C Max. bake setting: 450 F / 232 C Keep children away from the lower oven when hot. Failure to do so can result in burns. Always use oven mitts when removing food from the lower oven. The lower oven rack, compartment, cookware/plates may be hot. Setting bake for lower oven See example below to set a bake to start immediately using the default temperature. 1. Press LOWER OVEN 2. Press BAKE 3. Press START LOWER OVEN Once START is pressed the oven will begin heating. The oven display shows PRE-HEATING. After the oven reaches set temperature, PRE- HEATING will turn off and a beep will indicate the oven is ready. The oven will continue to maintain this temperature until the cooking feature is canceled. NOTE You may press CANCEL at any time when setting the control or during the cooking process. For best results The lower oven rack must always be in place when cooking or warming. Be sure that the rack is placed with the down turned sides into the drawer. This will provide for some air space between the drawer and the food. When placing food in the lower oven always use a baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent food from sliding off. DO NOT LINE THE OVEN DRAWER WITH FOIL OR COVER THE OVEN RACK WITH FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven. The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be used in the lower oven is 4. The maximum width is 15. Pay close attention to foods that have potential to rise beyond the recommended 4 maximum height. Use pans in the lower oven large enough to contain food and any juices created from the cooking process. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the lower oven or surrounding areas and be very difficult to clean. Use a lid or aluminum foil instead. Use only utensils and cookware in the lower oven that are recommended for oven use in the upper oven. When using the lower oven, limit the number of times the drawer is opened; this will minimize heat loss. Repeated opening of the drawer during the cooking process may increase cooking times and produce uneven cooking results. The cooking times for the lower oven may vary slightly from the upper oven. Should an oven fire occur, close the drawer and turn the lower oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

17 Before Setting the Oven Controls 17 Air circulation in the oven For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food. NOTE Always use caution when removing food from the oven. Oven vents location Oven racks Types of oven racks Your appliance is equipped with different styles of interior oven racks; regular oven rack and fully extendable Luxury-Glide TM oven racks. Regular oven rack - Fig. 1 The oven is vented above each door. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal Full extendable Luxury- Glide TM oven rack - Fig. 2 Warm Air Oven Vent Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns. The regular -Fig. 1- oven rack may be used in all of the rack position. The fully extendable glide rack -Fig. 2- makes food preparation easier. Especially when preparing heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide tracks that allow you to extend your food away from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides of the oven wall. Oven rack position Rack positions

18 18 Before Setting the Oven Controls Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

The convection fan will turn off once the oven is fully preheated. Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the oven so that the food is in the center of the oven. For multiple rack baking, use the convection bake function. If using two racks, place the oven racks in positions 1 (glide rack) and 4 (flat rack) Figure 1 and position cookware as shown in Figure 2. Be sure the pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow for proper air circulation. Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins. Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time. Using cook time Adding a cook time when baking is beneficial when a recipe requires a specific temperature and period of time to cook. Following the recipe cook time helps insure the best possible results. Cook time may be set with the following features: Bake Dehydrate Conv bake Bread proof Conv roast Keep warm Slow cook Perfect turkey Defrost See example below to set the oven for bake, starting immediately with preheating to the autosuggest (default) setting of 350 F (176 C) and then to automatically turn off after 30 minutes: Step NOTE You may press CANCEL at any time when setting the control or during the cooking process.

Use the automatic timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is completed. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning About convection bake Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect³ system. Convection bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. The conv bake feature should ONLY be used when your recipe instructions have been written for use with convection baking. If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and you wish to use convection bake, follow the Convection Convert option instructions. The convection convert option will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking may provide the best possible results. Conv bake may be set with the following options: Conv convert Cook time or cook time with end time Probe Rapid preheat

The oven will continue to maintain this temperature until the cooking feature is canceled. For best results Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. If your recipe cooking temperature has already been converted for convection baking there is no need to reduce your oven temperature. If your recipe has not had the temperature converted for convection baking you can easily reduce the temperature using the Convection Convert feature. Please see Convection Convert section on next page for further instruction on temperature conversion. Use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking when using this mode. With single rack convection baking some foods may have as much as a 25% reduction in cook time; check food at minimum time. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. For single rack baking, use the radiant bake function. When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 2. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow for proper air circulation. Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.

29 Setting Oven Controls 29 About the probe function Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature. The following temperature settings apply to the probe function: Default: 170 F/76 C Minimum: 130 F / 54 C Maximum: 210 F / 98 C Setting the probe Proper probe placement Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the food visually measure with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill. For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-. IMPORTANT Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance. Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The probe will not work properly until correctly connected - Fig. 2. Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and the receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing it from the food or the receptacle. Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to avoid damaging probe. Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not in use. To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the probe using a pot holder. Probe Fig. 2 Fig. 1 1/2 Fig. 3
