Your microwave oven has an
automatic temperature probe.
For many foods, temperature control is impor-
tant. That's why your microwave oven comes
with a removable automatic temperature sen-
sor. You can microwave foods like chicken,
turkey, pork and rare roast beef to the tem-
perature you want. The oven shuts off auto-
matically when the food's done. No guess-
work!
The temperature probe is handy when cook-
ing for children, too. Because you can control
the temperature of each portion individually.
Making soup? Serve the children theirs at a
mild 130°, while the adults get piping hot
soup at 170°.
Frozen foods aren 't recommended to use
with the probe. It's difficult to insert the
probe when foods are frozen. Page 24 tells
you which foods work best with the probe.
(And which ones don't.)
Setting your microwave oven to cook by tem-
perature is easy. The oven helps!
The 3-second signal sounds if you set a
temperature outside the oven's range (be-
low 90° or above 200°) or any temperature
lower than the temperature of the food.
The signal also sounds if you set the oven
to microwave by temperature and forget to
attach the probe to the receptacle inside
the oven.
During TEMP COOK you can recall the tem-
perature that you set by touching the TEMP
COOK pad.
Things to remember when setting your oven

Don't leave the probe in the oven if it's not
inserted in food. (Prevents damage to
oven).
Like any food thermometer, the probe may
slip out of place in cooking. Reposition it,
press START again, and continue cooking.
If you wait to hear the signal sound and find
the probe has slipped out of the food, the
food could be overcooked. Also, the oven
could be damaged.
If you give the oven instructions it can't
carry out, a 3-second signal sounds when
you press START.
Touch the cooking function pad (TEMP
COOK) before setting number pads.
Recipes in the Cook Book tell you approx-
imate cooking times as well as temperature
settings. Use the times as a guide to plan-
ning when to serve food.
