Cooking by Temperature
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 & H setting is
recommended for batters,
doughs, frozen foods and foods
which are difficult to cook
precisely with 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 until
you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
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 the food.
(Its appearance may vary from
picture above. ) The probe must be
used when using Temp Cook &
Hold or Auto Roast. To use the
probe properly, follow directions in
the Auto Defrost 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 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?
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.
Cooking Tips
Use a lower power level; foods
will heat more evenly 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.
