Cooking Tips - GE Spacemaker II JEM31M Use And Care & Cooking Manual

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness
for many foods.
Use Temp Cook & Hold to cook a variety of foods
to the desired finished food temperature. The Time
Cook I & II setting is recommended for batters,
doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult
to cook precisely with the probe.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its
appearance may vary from picture at right.) The probe
must be used when using Temp Cook & Hold or Auto
Roast. To use the probe properly, follow directions in
the Automatic Roasting section.

Questions and Answers
Q. Why did "PRObE" flash on the display after I
touched the START pad?
A. "PRObE" will flash if you don't seat the cable
end of the probe securely into the receptacle in
the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP COOK
& HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.
Temp Cook & Hold takes the guesswork out of
cooking, because the oven automatically switches
to "Hold" setting after reaching the preset food
temperature and maintains that temperature for up
to one hour or until you touch the CLEAWOFF pad.
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to "Hold"
when preset food temperature is reached.
Step 6: When 160°F. is reached, the oven will sound
and display "Hold." The oven will then hold the
temperature.
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.
Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before
inserting probe. Probe may break
off if used in frozen foods.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it's not
inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage
the oven.
Step 5: Touch the START pad. If
internal temperature of the roast
START
is less than 90°F., display will
show "COOL"; if temperature is
temperature counting up.
Step 7: Touch the CLEAWOFF
pad to stop the cycle.
