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 & II setting
is preferred 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 signals with
four beeps when the food reaches
the preset temperature. The Hold
feature will maintain this temperature
for up to twelve hours or until you
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Note: Oven automatically switches
to “Hold” when preset food
temperature is reached.

Cooking Tips
●
Use a lower power level; it will
heat more evenly even though

. 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.
Questions and Answers
Q. I
inserted the temperature
probe, closed the door, touched
TEMP COOK/HOLD and entered
my
desired food temperature but
the temperature didn’t appear on
the display.
A. You may have entered an
incorrect temperature. Any food
temperature from 80° to
may be entered for TEMP COOK/
HOLD. Touch CLEAR/OFF and
begin again.
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,
you 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.
