MICROWAVE OVEN
Cooking by Temperature
Temp Cook/Hold
(Auto Roast Code 7)
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use Auto Roast code 7 and
the temperature probe to Temp
Cook/Hold. This takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches to
the “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.
You might prefer to use Auto Roast
code 7 to enter a desired food
temperature, power
or Hold
temperature for up to twelve hours
after food is done.

The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food;
it must be used when using Auto
Roast codes 1 through 7.
A two-position clip attaches to
the side of a dish to help keep the
probe in position when temperature
cooking foods such as chili or soup.
To use your probe properly in a
roast, follow the directions on
page 12.

Cooking Tips
●
Use a lower power level; it will
heat food 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
after 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 AUTO
ROAST pad and forget to use the
probe.
Q. Can I leave the probe in the
oven if it’s not inserted in food?
A. No, if the probe touches the
oven wall, it may damage the oven.
