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.
The Temperature Probe
SENSORHANDLE
TWO POSITIONCABLE
CLIPEND
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.” 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 the probe properly, follow directions on page 10.

●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, you 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.
