Cooking by Temperature
For many foods, internal temperature is the best
test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to perfection when
temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods
accurately to a serving temperature you desire is
simple and easy.
TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven shuts off automatically when the
food is done.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food; it
must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion
on page 14.

Questions
and Answers
Q. After I followed the steps and
touched START, "ERROR" flashed
in the display and a signal
sounded. What is wrong?
A. "ERROR" flashes on display if
you set the temperature either be-
low 80° or greater than 1$9°. The
oven tells you between the flash-
ing of "ERROR" what the in-
correct entry was that you set. To
re-enter, touch CLEAR /C)FF pad
and begin steps again.

these foods.

dispiay after I touched Start?
