"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" COOKING
The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when
cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food tempera-
ture with the TEMP CONTROL and the desired power
level with the COOK CONTROL. When the food reaches
the desired temperature, the oven will hold the food at the
desired temperature up to one hour.
TEMPERATURE SETTING &
DISPLAY TEMPERATURE
Temperatures from 90°F to 200°F can be chosen and set
in the oven. The temperature should be set in one-
degree increment.
The display window will show the rise in food tempera-
ture in one-degree increment.
The display window will not accurately show food
temperature below 90°F.

• Choose only fresh, completely thawed meat.
• Place meat fat side down on the microwave roasting rack
in a glass baking dish.
• Microwave cook on the first "multi-power" setting for
half of.the total cooking time. (See "Temperature Con-
tror' Meat Cooking Guide on Page 15.)
• Turn meat to fat side up and:
I. Place the temperature probe sensor into the meat with
the first inch of the sensor in the center of the meat.
The sensor should not touch the bone or fat pocket.
The sensor should be put in from the side or from the
front--it should not be put in from the top of the meat.

Choose the doneness temperature from the chart on
Page 16. Set the temperature with the TEMP CON-
TROL.
Microwave cook the meat on the second "multi-
power" setting. The microwave oven will turn itself off
when the preset temperature is reached. Take the
food out of the oven as soon as the display window
shows "Hold".
Remove the temperature sensor. Let the meat stand,
covered with foil for about 10 minutes before serving.
The temperature will rise about 15°F during standing
time.
Note: It is normal for meats to become slightly over-
cooked in a small circular area in the immediate vicinity of
the hole made by the meat probe.
TEMPERATURE PROBE SENSOR: The pointed metal
portion of the probe which is placed into the food.
SENSITIVE AREA OF SENSOR: The first inch, or tip,
of the temperature probe sensor.
PLUG: The end of the temperature probe that is plugged
into the oven socket.
SOCKET: The outlet on the side of the oven wall.
CAUTION: Do not plug the pointed end of the temper-
ature probe into the socket.
SLIDE GROMMET: Adjust the length of the tempera-
ture probe by sliding the grommet before inserting it into
food so that the sensitive area of the probe can always be
placed in the center of the food.
DISPLAY WINDOW: Shows the cooking temperature
rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may
be seen during cooking by touching TEMP CONTROL.
When chosen temperature is reached the display will
show "Hold" for 60 minutes or until the door is opened
or STOP is touched.
