“TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED” COOKING
The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when
cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food tem­
perature with the TEMP CONTROL and the desired
power level with the POWER CONTROL. When “Hold
Warm” is set, after completing the cooking cycle the
oven will hold the food warm up to 100 minutes.
TEMPERATURE SETTING &
DISPLAY TEMPERATURE
Temperature 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
115° F to 120° F and then to 125° F. The lowest tempera­
ture 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: Show the cooking temperature
rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may be
seen during cooking by touching TEMP CONTROL.
When “Hold Warm” is set, after completing the cooking
the display will show “Hold” for 100 minutes or until the
door is opened or STOP is touched.
MEATS
H Choose only fresh, completely thawed meat.
B Place meat fat side down on the microwave roasting
rack in a glass baking dish.
B Microwave cook on the first “multi-power” setting for
half of the total cooking time. (See “Temperature Con­
trolled” Meat Cooking Guide on Page 18.)
B Turn meat to fat side up and:
1. 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 18. Set the ternperature with the TEMP
CONTROL.
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 “Hold”.
5. Remove the temperature 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: ft 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.
