COOKING BY TEMPERATURE
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness
for many foods.
Use Temp Cook to cook a 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 Cook 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 your food. (Its
appearance may vary from picture shown.) The probe
must be used when using Temp Cook or Auto Roast.
To use the probe properly, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.

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.
.Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty
area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.
Questions and Answers
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
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.
