TEMPERATURE COOKING
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 until
you open the door or touch CLEAR/OFF.
TEMPERATURE; P_OBE
The temperature probe Isa food thermometer that gauges
the tnternaltemperature of your food. The probe must be

though requiring more time.
• Be sure frozen food Is completely defrosted before
inserting probe° Probe may break off if it is used in
frozen foods.

Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick
even heatlng_
Dellcate butter ictngs, ice cream, froz_.n toppings,
etc,, soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters,
doughs, and frozen foods are also difficult to cook
with the probe. It is best to TIME COOK these foods.

the probe securely into the receptacle In the oven
wall or If you touch AUTO ROAST and forget to use
the probe°
DO NOT leave the probe in the oven if itIs not Inserted
in food or you may damage the oven,
You can set a minimum temperature of 80°F and
maximum temperature of 199°F_
AUTO ROAST
AUTO ROAST uses the temperature probe to cook to the
desired serving temperature. Auto Roast uses up to 3
power settings which automatically switch during
roasting, providing tender, even cooking results without
overcooklng.
Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts
should be Auto Roasted until specified Internal
temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should
be mlcrowaved by time, according to your recipe.
PREPARE THE ROAST
Place tender beef roast on rack In microwave safe dish.
Insert probe horizontally lnto the center meaty area, not
touching bone or faL Make sure the handle does not
touch the food or sides of the oven. Cover with wax
paper. Pork or ham roasts need no trivet, Add 1t2 cup
water to roast dish; cover with plastic wrap. Allow room
for probe when covering. Place meat in oven with probe
to the rtghL Insert cable end of probe firmly into the
receptacle on oven wall,
