RECOMMENDATIONS

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. s 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.

s

Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer. Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

A. Oven vent (on some ceramic glass models)

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered because it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven.
