"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" COOKING
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.

DEFINITIONS
TEMPERATURE PROBE SENSOR: The pointed metal
portion of the probe which is placed into the food.
SENSITIVE AREA OF SENSOR: The first inch, or tip, of
the temperature probe sensor.
PLUG: The end of the temperature probe that is plugged into
the oven socket.
SOCKET: The outlet on the side of the oven wall.
CAUTION: Do not plug the pointed end of the
temperature probe into the socket.
DISPLAY WINDOW: Shows the Cooking Temperature
rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may be
seen during cooking by touching MICRO TEMP. When
chosen temperature is reached the Display will show
"Hold" for 60 minutes or until Door is opened or STOP is
touched.
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.
