follow COOK 1 or COOK 2 to avoid the need to reset the oven halfway
through the cycle. PROBE TEMP can be programmed with the Temperature
Probe out. The oven will pause between COOK 1 or COOK 2 and PROBE
TEMP. “PROB” will show on the Display to remind you to plug in the probe.

before or during operation:
-Touch PROBE TEMl?
