"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED"

The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food

temperature with the MICRO TEMP, and the desired power level with the MICRO POWER.

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 115°F to 185°F can be chosen and set in the oven. The temperature should be set in five-degree increments. The display window will show the rise in food temperature in five-degree increments.

For example, when a temperature of 125°F is set, the display window will show the temperature as it rises from I15°F to 120°F and then to 125°F. The

lowest temperature number that can be displayed is 115 ° F. Therefore, even though the food may be less than 115°F, the display will remain at 115°F until the food is heated to above 115°F.

COOKING

MEATS

[] Choose only fresh, completely thawed meat.

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

[] Microwave cook on the first "multi-power" setting for half of the total cooking time. (See "Temperature Controlled" Meat Cooking Guide on Page 17.)

[] 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.

3.Choose the doneness temperature from the chart on Page 17. Set the temperature with the MICRO TEMP.

4.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 "End".

5.Remove the temperature probe 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.
