Cooking byTemperature

Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many fa.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches
to Hold setting after reaching
the preset food temperature and
maintains that temperature for up
to one hour or until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.

The ‘lkmperature Probe

HA~OLE

The temperature probe is a fti

thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your fd;
it must be used when using Temp
Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To

the display after I touched the

SIART pad?
A. “PROBE” will flash if you

don’tseat the cable end of the probe
securely into the receptacle in the
oven wall or if you touch the TEMP

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I

accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically

rearmnge your program. Defrosting
will alwayscome first, then hold,
and then the cooking fbnction.

Q Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes.Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Time Defrost and
amount of time. Then program a

holding time (example in steps 4
and 5 at left). Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.

N(YTE:Let fds remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.

Q. I programmed my oven for

a specific defrosting time but it
defkmted longer than necessary.
what happened?

A. When instructions conflict,

the ovencarries out the last
instruction. Youmay have set the
oven to Defrost for 4 minutes,
Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then’
Defrostfbr6minutes. Inthiscase, the
