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 I &II 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.

Step 4: Touch the POWER LEVEL pad. “ENTER POWER” flashes on the display. Touch 5 for medium power. “FOOD TEMP~’ “160F” and “POWER 5“ show on the display.

Step 5: Touch START pad. If internal temperature of the roast is less than 90°F., display will show “COOL”; if temperature is 90°F. or above, display will show temperature counting up.

Step 6: When 160°F. is reached, the oven will sound and display will show “Hold?’ The oven will then hold the temperature.

Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF 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.
