MICROWAVE OVEN

 by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.

Temp 

 takes the

guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches to
“HOLD” setting after reaching the
selected food temperature, and
maintains that temperature until
you open the door or touch the

 pad.

The Temperature Probe

Sensor

Handle

Cable

The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food.
The probe must be used when
using Temp 

 or Auto

Roast. To use your probe properly
in a roast, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.

How to Temp Cook a
Rolled Beef Rib Roast to
Medium

Step 1: Insert temperature probe
into roast and seat cable end of
probe securely into the receptacle
in the oven wall. Close the door.

Step 

2: 

Touch TEMP

 pad.

Step 3: Touch 1,2 and 5 for 

Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL
pad. “ENTER POWER” flashes on
the display. Touch 5 for medium
power.

Step 5: Touch the START pad. If
internal temperature of the roast is
less than 80°F., display will show
“COOL”; if temperature is 80°F. or
above, display will show
temperature, counting up.

Step 6: When 

 is reached,

the oven will sound and display
will show “HOLD.” The oven will
then hold the temperature.

Step 7: Touch the 
pad to stop the cycle.

Step 8: Remove probe and food
from the oven.

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.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I followed the steps and
touched the START pad,
“ERROR” flashed on the display
and a signal sounded. What’s
wrong?

A. “ERROR” flashes if you set the
temperature either below 80°F. or
above 

 The oven tells you,

between the flashing of “ERROR,”
what incorrect entry was made. To

 touch 

 pad

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 

 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.
