How do I use the Hamilton Beach 33869 slow cooker's temperature probe for perfectly cooked meat?

[MadisonRose]

To utilize the temperature probe feature on your Hamilton Beach 33869 Digital Programmable Slow Cooker for achieving a specific internal temperature, follow these steps:

1. Probe Placement: Carefully insert the temperature probe into the thickest part of the food, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom of the crock or any bones.
2. Power On: Plug the slow cooker into a power outlet and press the ON/OFF button to turn it on.
3. Activate Probe Mode: Press the PROBE button on the control panel. The PROBE button will illuminate, and the display will show the default temperature of 180°F (80°C). If the probe isn't plugged in, the display will alternate between "PLUG" and "PRbE."
4. Set Desired Temperature: Use the up arrow (up arrow symbol) or down arrow (down arrow symbol) to select your desired internal temperature, ranging from 100°F to 200°F (38°C-93°C).
5. Choose Heat Setting: Press the ENTER button. The display will show "HIGH". Use the up arrow (up arrow symbol) or down arrow (down arrow symbol) to choose your preferred heat setting: HIGH, LOW, or WARM.
6. Start Cooking: Press the ENTER button to begin cooking. The display will cycle between the actual and desired temperatures.
7. Automatic Warm Function: Once the set temperature is reached, the slow cooker will beep three times and automatically switch to the WARM setting. The display will show "WARM." The appliance will automatically turn off after a combined cooking and WARM time of 24 hours if it is not manually turned off.
8. Power Off: Unplug the slow cooker after use.

Note: To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press and hold both the PROBE and ENTER buttons simultaneously. For further details and safety guidelines, always consult the Hamilton Beach 33869 Digital Programmable Slow Cooker User Manual.
