"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" COOKING

The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when

cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food tempera-

ture with the TEMP CONTROL and the desired power

level with the COOK CONTROL. When the food reaches

the desired temperature, the oven will hold the food at the

desired temperature up to one hour.

TEMPERATURE SETTING &

DISPLAY TEMPERATURE

Temperatures from 90°F to 200°F can be chosen and set

in the oven. The temperature should be set in one- degree increment.

The display window will show the rise in food tempera-

ture in one-degree increment.

The display window will not accurately show food

temperature below 90°F.

DEFINITIONS

TEMPERATURE PROBE SENSOR: The pointed metal

portion of the probe which is placed into the food.

SENSITIVE AREA OF SENSOR: The first inch, or tip,

of the temperature probe sensor.

PLUG: The end of the temperature probe that is plugged into the oven socket.

SOCKET: The outlet on the side of the oven wall. CAUTION: Do not plug the pointed end of the temper- ature probe into the socket.

SLIDE GROMMET: Adjust the length of the tempera-

ture probe by sliding the grommet before inserting it into food so that the sensitive area of the probe can always be placed in the center of the food.

DISPLAY WINDOW: Shows the cooking temperature

rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may be seen during cooking by touching TEMP CONTROL.

When chosen temperature is reached the display will show "Hold" for 60 minutes or until the door is opened or STOP is touched.

MEATS

Choose only fresh, completely thawed meat.

Place meat fat side down on the microwave roasting rack in a glass baking dish.

Turn meat to fat side up and:

I.Place the temperature probe sensor into the meat with the first inch of the sensor in the center of the meat. The sensor should not touch the bone or fat pocket.

The sensor should be put in from the side or from the front--it should not be put in from the top of the meat.

2.Plug the temperature probe into the socket on the side of the oven wall.

. Choose the doneness temperature from the chart on

Page 16. Set the temperature with the TEMP CON- TROL.

. Microwave cook the meat on the second "multi- power" setting. The microwave oven will turn itself off

when the preset temperature is reached. Take the

food out of the oven as soon as the display window shows "Hold".

. Remove the temperature sensor. Let the meat stand, covered with foil for about 10 minutes before serving.

The temperature will rise about 15°F during standing time.

Note: It is normal for meats to become slightly over-

cooked in a small circular area in the immediate vicinity of the hole made by the meat probe.
