Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.

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.
Temp CootiHold 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
Note: Oven automatically
switches to "Hold" when preset
food temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food.
(Its appearance may vary from
picture above.) The probe must be
used when using Temp CooWHold
or Auto Roast. To use the probe
properly, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.

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 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 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,
it 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.
