Tips
@ Where you have a choice of
Power Levels, use a
lower setting;
it will heat more evenly
even
though requiring
more time.
. Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before in-
serting probe. Probe may break off
if used in frozen foods.
@Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care
not to touch the fat or the bone.
o Insert probe as horizontally as
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food. The
probe is easiest to use when
inserted from the front.
@ Usethe clip to keep the probe in
place while heating.
o Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating.
Questions
and Answers
Q. Is temperature
cooking better
than time cooking for reheating
ieftovers?
A. Yes, this type of food is excel-
lent to heatwith the probe because
often the amount of food is not
known, therefore cooking time is
only a guess. Cooking to a preset
temperature (usually 150°) elimi-
nates the auesswork.
Q. After setting Power Level and
temperature, I pushed START but
the oven did not come on. Why?
A. You must push the TIM E/TEMP
Switch to TEMP when temperature
cooking. Also if probe is not
securely seated or forgotten, oven
will not start. Make sure all con-
trols are set properly.

Temperature Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm tem-
peratures, Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to TIME CC)OK
these foods,
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may
damagethe oven.
Q. How do I know what tempera-
ture to set?
A. Your Cookbook contains sec-
tions on all types of foods showing
the temperatures needed to cook
the foods to different
degrees of
doneness, For reheating, refer to
Reheating
Charts
