Cooking by Temperature

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

Temp Cook/Hold takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches
to Hold setting after reaching
the preset food temperature and
maintains that temperature for up
to one hour or until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I followed the steps
and touched the START pad,

“ERROR” flashed in the display

and a signal sounded. What’s
wrong?

A. “ERROR” flashes if you set
the temperature either below 90°F.
or above 

 The oven tells you,

between the flashing of 
what incorrect entry was made. To

 touch CLEAR/OFF 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
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. 

 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.
