MICROWAVE OVEN
The temperature probe is used to cook foods to a
preselected "done" temperature. The probe senses
the internal temperature of the food and turns off the
microwave energy when the food reaches the preselected
temperature. The probe must be used when the Temp
Cook feature is used.
Using the probe can eliminate guesswork when
microwaving certain food items, especially meats
and poultry.
The probe should be inserted into the center of the
food item, not touching fat or bones. The probe
should not touch plastic or paper or any part of the
interior of the oven.
Never operate the oven empty with the probe
plugged in.
How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium
1. Insert the temperature probe into the roast. Place
the food in the oven and attach the cable end of the
probe securely into the receptacle in the oven wall.
The Temp Indicator Light will appear and flash in
the display. The oven will beep.
2. Press the TEMP COOK pad.
3. Press the appropriate number pads to select the
desired "done" temperature
The number 1 is already programmed, therefore
enter only the second and third numbers of the
desired temperature.
For example: To set the temperature for 120"F., press
2, 0. The temperature can be set for any temperature
from 100"F. to 199°F.
4. If high (HI) is the recommended cooking power
level, press the START pad. If a power level other
than high (HI) is required, press the POWER
LEVEL pad, then press the appropriate number pad
to enter the desired power level.
Automatic Hold
When the preselected "done" temperature is reached,
the oven control will beep and the word "END" will
appear in the display. The oven will continue to hold
the food at the "done" temperature until the probe and
food are removed from the oven. You may want to
hold the food at the done temperature or a lower
(serving) temperature until ready to serve. A holding
temperature can be set to a temperature lower than the
cooking temperature (but not lower than 140"F.).

COOKING BY TEMPERATURE
The probe can become hot during cooking. Use a
pot holder to remove the probe from the food and
the receptacle.
The probe cannot be used in the lower oven.
Do not use the probe with a browning dish.
Position the probe so that the probe jack easily
reaches the receptacle.
If the probe is not inserted properly into the food,
heating may continue indefinitely and can overcook
or burn foods.
If the probe should fail for any of the above reasons,
the word "END" will appear in the display and the
oven will beep continuously. Remove and reinsert
the probe, then reprogram the desired time and
temperatures.

5. Press the START pad.
The word "COOL" will appear and remain in the
display until the internal temperature of the food
reaches approximately 85°F. The display will then
count up in 5° increments until the preset temperature
is reached. The Temp Cook Indicator Light will
continue to flash in {he display.
To check the temperature setting while
cooking, press the TEMP COOK pad. The
