What happens when you use
the probe…
Cooking with the probe allows you to
heat food to a certain temperature. This
is the best way to cook many foods.
The Temperature Probe
NOTE: The turntable will not turn when
the probe is in use.
The temperature probe is a food thermo-
meter that monitors the temperature of
the food. The probe must be used when
using Temp Cook or Roast.
The probe is not recommended for
batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods
which are difficult to cook precisely by
temperature. Use the Cook Time setting
for these foods.
• Make sure the cable end is inserted all
the way into the oven wall receptacle.
• Insert the probe into the center of the
food. Make sure the handle does not
touch the food or the top or sides of the
oven.
• Do not leave the probe in the oven if it’s
not inserted in food. If it touches the
oven wall, it may damage the oven.
Cooking Tips
• Do not twist, drop or bend the probe.
• Be sure frozen food has been completely
defrosted before inserting the probe.
The probe may break off if used in
frozen foods.
• Cover foods loosely for moisture control
and quick, even heating.
• Use a lower power level with the probe;
foods will take longer to cook but they
will heat more evenly.
