“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 CONTROL. When “Hold
Warm” is set, after completing the set cooking the oven
will hold the food warm up to 100 minutes.
TEMPERATURE SETTING & DISPLAY
TEMPERATURE
Temperatures from 90° F to 200° F can be chosen and set
in the oven. The temperature should be set in one-degree
increments.
The display window will show the rise in food temperature
in one-degree increments.
The display window will not accurately show food
temperature below 90° F.

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 23.)
H 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 tfie oven wall.
3. Choose the doneness temperature' from the chart on
Page 23. 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 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.
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.

SOCKET; The outlet on the side of the oven wall.
CAUTION; Do not plug the pointed end of the
temperature probe into the socket.
SLIDE GROMMET: Adjust the length of the
temperature probe by sliding the grommet before inserting
