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.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I followed the steps and touched the START pad, “ERROR” flashed in the display and a signal sounded. What’s wrong?

A. “ERROR” flashes if you set the temperature either below 90°F. or above 199°F. The oven tells you, between the flashing of “ERRORJ’ what incorrect entry was made. To re-enter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad and begin again.

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

Temp Cook?

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.
