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 1 & 2 setting is
recommended 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 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.

Note: Oven automatically switches

to “Hold” when preset food
temperature is reached.

-

The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of the food;
it must be used when using Temp
Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To use
the probe properly, follow

directions on page 16.

“FOOD 

 “160F” and

“POWER 5“ show on display.

Step 5:

internal temperature of the roast is
less than 90”F., display will show
“COOL”; if temperature is 90”F.

or above, display shows

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. 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,
it 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.
