COOKING BY TEMPERATURE
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods. TEMP
COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically
switches to the Hold setting after reaching the preset food temperature and
maintains that temperature until you either open the door or press the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food;
it must be used when using the
Temp Cook or microwave oven
Temp Cook function. A temperature
probe has been provided for use in
your new microwave oven.
Temperature probes provided with
other products, such as those used
for ovens, are designed to
withstand high temperatures.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may
result in damage to the probe.

temperature of the roast is less than
80°E, the display will show “COOL”; if
the roast’s internal temperature is 80°F.
or above, the display shows the
temperature counting up.
6. When 150°F. is reached, the oven control signals
and “HOLd” will be in the display. The oven will
then hold the temperature.
7. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle.

Cooking Tips
• Use a lower power level; it will heat food more
evenly though requiring more time.
• Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick,
even heating.
• Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted
before inserting probe. The probe may break off if
you attempt to push it into frozen foods.
Questions and Answers
Q. After I followed the steps and pressed the
START pad “ERROR” flashed on the display
and the oven control signaled. What’s wrong?
A. “ERROR” flashes if you set the temperature
either below 80°F. or above 199°F. The oven
display will show you, between the flashing of
“ERROR,” what incorrect entry was made. To re­
enter, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and begin again.

Q. Why did “PRObE” flash after I pressed 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 press the TEMP COOK pad
and forget to use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not
inserted in the food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, damage may
occur to the probe and oven.
