How to Use the Probe and Set the
Temperature Yourself

Insert the temperature probe in
the center of a casserole and
attach it securely into the oven
wall outlet.

Press TEMP COOK/ROAST
once.

Enter the desired food
temperature.

Change power level if you don’t
want full power. (Press POWER
LEVEL. Select a power level
1–10.)

Press START.

When the temperature is
reached, the microwave will
signal. Food will be held at this
temperature for 60 minutes. The
oven beeps when the hold time
is complete.

Cooking Tips

•

Do not twist, drop or bend the
probe.

•

Use a lower power level with the
probe; foods will take longer to
cook but they will heat more
evenly.

•

Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before
inserting the probe. The probe
may break off if used in frozen
foods.

•

Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.

•

Just as in regular roasting, only
tender roasts should be roasted
by using the probe. Less tender
roasts should be microwaved
by time.
