THE MEAL SENSOR’” TEMPERIUURE PROBE
The MEAL SENSOR. Temperature Probe helps take guesswork out of cooking roasts
and larger casseroles. The probe is designed to turn off the oven when it senses the
temperature YOU want. See vour MICRO MENUS Cookbook for helpful information in
coo’king diffekent types of fobds
For casseroles, the tip of
the probe should be in
the center of the food. Stir
foods when recom-
mended. Replace the
probe
( Cable “e,
1. Insert at le:st 13of the
temperalure probe into
the food.
4. Set the Cook Power if
desired
For Ilquids. balance the
probe on a wooden spoon
or spatula so the tip of the
probe is in the center of
the liquid
For roasts, the tip of the
probe should be in the
center of the largest mus-
cle, but not touchtng fat or
bone
I
Socket
2. Place food in the oven
and plug the probe into
the socket on the oven
wall. The Probe Signal
Light will come on.
5. Move the Meal Sensor
pointer to the final cook-
ing temperature you
want.
3. Make sure the probe does
not touch any part of the
oven Interior. Close the
door.
6. Push the START Button.
When the probe senses
the cooking temperature,
a buzzer sounds, and the
oven turns off.
DO...
l use hot pads when removing probe from
food or food from oven.
l unplug probe from socket to turn off oven
light.
l stir foods during cookmg when
recommended.
l stir soups, casseroles and drinks before
serving.
l cover roasts with foil and let stand a few
minutes after cooking. Remove foil if you
decide to cook it longer.
DON’T...
l let probe or probe cable touch any part of
the oven interior.
l let probe touch foil (if used). Foil can be
kept away from probe with wooden tooth-
picks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.
0 use paper, plastic wrap or plastic con-
tainers. They will be in the oven too long.
l use probe in regular oven.
l force probe into frozen food.
l use probe for foods that need to simmer.

CLEANING THE PROBE:
1. Remove probe from microwave oven using hot pads.
2. Wipe probe with a hot sudsy cloth. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove stubborn foods,

HOW MICROVKVE OVENS WORK
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to
make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.
Mode Mixer Magnetron Bottom
\ I
Mrcrowav?s are lrke TV
waves or light waves You
can’t see them but you can
see what they do
Oven Cavity Metal Floor
A magnetron produces
mrcrowaves The microwaves
move into the oven where
they are scattered around by
a stirrer (like a fan)
Mrcrowaves bounce off
metal oven walls and are
absorbed by food
The bottom of your micro-
wave oven lets micro-
waves through. Then they
bounce off the metal
floor, back through the
bottom, and are ab-
sorbed bv the food.

waves bounce 3ff rneta! pans
so food doss not absorb the
enerqv
Microwaves may not reach
the center of a roast The heat
around the outside is what
cooks the roast all the way
through. This is one of the
reasons for letting some
foods [roasts, baked pota-
toes] stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring some
foods during the (cooking
time.
The microwaves disturb
water molecules in the food
As the molecules bounce
around bumplng into each
other, heat is made. like rub-
bing your hands together
Thus IS the heat that cooks

CLEANING THE RACK
l Put food in containersthen place con-
tainers on rack.

THE LOWER OVEN SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The lower oven self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away
soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use
the cycle safely.
BEFORE YOU START 1.
Clean areas that may not be cleaned
during the cycle. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...

part outside the oven seal.
- DO NOT try to clean the tlberglass seal. DO
NOT move it or bend it.
2. Remove any pots or pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t stand the
