"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" COOKING
The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food temp-
erature with the TEMP CONTROL and the desired
power level with the POWER 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.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
For example, when a temperature of 125°F is set, the
display window will show the temperature as it rises from II5°F to 120°F and then to 125°F. The lowest temp- erature number that can be displayecl is II5°F. There- fore, even though the food may be less than IIS°F, the display will remain at 115°F until the food is heated to above 115°F.

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
Controlled" Meat Cooking Guide on Page ]7.)
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

. Plug the temperature probe into the socket on the side of the oven wall.
. Choose the doneness temperature from the
chart on Page 17. Set the temperature with the
TEMP CONTROL.
. 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 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
overcooked in a small circular area in the immediate vicinity of the hole made by the temperature probe.
