Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Temp Cook/Hold cooks a variety
of foods to the desired finished
food temperature using the probe.
Time Cook I &II is preferred
for batters, doughs, frozen
foods and foods which would
be difficult to cook precisely
with the probe. See page 8.
Temp Cook/Hold takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically signals with
four beeps when the food reaches
the preset temperature. The Hold
feature will maintain this temperature
for up to twelve hours or until you
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Note: Oven automatically switches
to "Hold" when preset food
temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe

Questions and Answers
Q. I inserted the temperature
probe, closed the door, touched
my desired food temperature but
the temperature didn't appear on
the display.
A. You may have entered an
incorrect temperature. Any food
temperature from 80° to 199°F.
may be entered for TEMP COOK/
HOLD. Touch CLEAR/OFF and
begin again.

Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,

cook precisely with the probe. It's
best to Time Cook these foods.

the display after I touched the
START pad?

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.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
