Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
"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
CLEAR/OFF pad.

cooking foods such as chili or soup.

Tips
Use a lower power level; it will
heat more evenly even though
requiring more time.
Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before inserting
probe. Probe may break off if used
in frozen foods.
Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.
Questions and Answers
Q. Are there any foods I can't
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It's
best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did "PROBE" flash
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
COOWHOLD pad and forget to use
the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
you may damage the oven.
Q. Can I Temp Cook different
portions of food at different
temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe
gives you the freedom to cook
different portions of food at
different temperatures to suit
individual eating styles. Simply
place probe in food and change
temperature setting as needed.
