TEMPERATURE COOKING
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 until you open the door or touch CLEAR/OFF.
TEMPERATURE; P_OBE
The temperature probe Is a food thermometer that gauges the tnternaltemperature of your food. The probe must be used when using TEMP COOK/HOLD or AUTO ROAST
TO SET TEMP/CGOK
1.Insert probe Into food and seat cable end of probe securely Into receptacle tn oven walt. Close door_
2.Press TEMP COOK/HOLD_ F (Fahrenheit) In display. ENTER TEMP will flash In display, See your cookbook for desired temperature,
3.Press number pads to enter desired temperature°
4.Press POWER CONTROL.
5.Press number pads to enter power level
6.Press START. It Internal temperature of the food is less than 80°F, the display will show "COOL". if temperature Is 80°F or above, display will show temperature counting up.
7.When set temperature ls reached, the oven will sound and display will show "HOLD". The oven will then hold the temperature°
8.Press CLEAR/OFF to stop the cycle°
If you fall to use the probe and try to set TEMP/COOK, display will flash "PROBE"°

COOKING TIPS
•Use a lower power level; it will heat more evenly though requiring more time.
•Be sure frozen food Is completely defrosted before inserting probe° Probe may break off if it is used in frozen foods.
iCover foods loosely for moisture control and quick even heatlng_
Dellcate butter ictngs, ice cream, froz_.n toppings, etc,, soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs, and frozen foods are also difficult to cook with the probe. It is best to TIME COOK these foods.
"PROBE" will flash if you do not seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle In the oven wall or If you touch AUTO ROAST and forget to use the probe°
DO NOT leave the probe in the oven if it Is not Inserted in food or you may damage the oven,
You can set a minimum temperature of 80°F and maximum temperature of 199°F_
AUTO ROAST
AUTO ROAST uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, providing tender, even cooking results without
overcooklng.
Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified Internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be mlcrowaved by time, according to your recipe.
PREPARE THE ROAST
Place tender beef roast on rack In microwave safe dish.
Insert probe horizontally lnto the center meaty area, not touching bone or faL Make sure the handle does not touch the food or sides of the oven. Cover with wax
paper. Pork or ham roasts need no trivet, Add 1t2 cup water to roast dish; cover with plastic wrap. Allow room for probe when covering. Place meat in oven with probe to the rtghL Insert cable end of probe firmly into the receptacle on oven wall,
