Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
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.

it must be used when using Temp

Cooking Tips
●
Use a lower power level; it will
heat more evenly even though
requiring more time.
. Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before inserting
probe. Probe may break off if used
in frozen
foods,
● Use the clip to keep the probe in
place while heating.
● Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.
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
“ERROR;’
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?
A. Yes.
Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It’s
best to time cook these foods.
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.
