DIRECTIONS FOR MICROWAVECOOKING
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED "HI-POWER"/"MULTI-POWER" COOKING
When you do temperature controlled cooking, you do not set the time, but set the TEMP to cook the food to the desired
temperature. The temperature you set is the TEMPERATURE OFTHE FOOD, not the temperature of the oven as in
conventional cooking. You use the temperaature probe to measure the internal temperature of the food.
However, you do not have to cook the food at HI-POWER, but may set the POWER LEVEL appropriate to the kind of
food, according to the recipes in your cookbook.
The "Reheating Chart" on page 21 will show you which power settings and temperature settings are recommended for
foods you want to reheat. The cookbook gives you additional power and temperature settings.
You may set temperatures from 100 to 200T, one degree at a time. The oven will show rise in temperatures by degrees,
beginning at 100_. If the food temperature measures less than 100"F, "COOL" will dispaly until the food reaches 100T.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
See the illustration below for the parts of the temperature probe.
Temperature Probe Sensor - the pointed end of the probe that you plug into the food.
Sensitive Area of the Sensor - the first inch, or tip, of the temperature probe sensor.
Plug - the blunt end of the temperature brobe that you plug into the socket in the oven right wall.
Socket - the outlet in the right wall of the oven.

"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Place the temperature probe sensor into the thickest
part of the meat or in the center of the food to be
reheated. Avoid touching bone or fat.
• Place the first inch of the sensor in the densest part
of the food to be cooked.
• Turn meat between first and second settings.
• Remove the temperature probe from the oven after use.
• Use a hot pad. The temperature probe will be hot.
• Refer to the cookbook for other information.
• Do not operate the oven empty with the temperature
probe plugged in.
• Do not leave the temperature probe unplugged in the
cavity while operating the oven.
• Do not let the temperature probe touch the side walls,
ceramic plate, or door of the cavity during cooking.
• Do not plug the pointed end of the temperature probe
into the socket inside the cavity.
• Do not use the temperature probe in a regular oven.
The probe was designed for the microwave oven only.
