NOTE: Some foods are started using a timed [COOK) cycle and finished by
using the temperature [PROBE TEMPT cycle. You can set PROBE TEMP to
follow COOK i or COOK 2 to avoid the need to reset the oven halfway
through the cycle. PROBE TEMP can be programmed with the temperature
probe out. The oven will pause between COOK 1 or COOK 2 and PROBE
TEMP. "PROB" will show on the Display to remind you to plug in the probe.
