MICROWAVE OVEN
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Temp Coo~old takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches to
"HOLD" setting after reaching the
selected food temperature, and
maintains that temperature until
you open the door or touch the
The Temperature Probe
Sensor Handle
The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food.
The probe must be used when
using Temp Coo~old or Auto

in a roast, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.

completely defrosted before
inserting probe. Probe may break
off if used in frozen foods.
Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.
Questions and Answers
Q. After I followed the steps and
touched the START pad,
"ERROR" flashed on the display
and a signal sounded. What's
wrong?
A. "ERROR" flashes if you set the
temperature either below 80°F. or
above 199°F. The oven tells you,
between the flashing of "ERROR,"
what incorrect entry was made. To
and begin again.
Q. Are there any foods I can't
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It's
best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did "PROBE" flash on
the display after I touched 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 touch the
TEMP COO~OLD pad and
forget to use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
A. No. If it touches the oven wall,
it may damage the oven.
