Automatic Microwave Cooking Recipe Guide
Automatic Cooking Control is a
fully automatic electronic control
system that lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The
charts and recipes in this section
are designed to help you make the
most of this truly new feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for a speci-
fied cooking time or a selected fin-
ished temperature.
And that means
looking up recipes in a cookbook.
. .
trying to convert old recipes for
microwave cooking. . .or just
resorting to guesswork. This con-
trol method works on an entirely
different basis—with a special elec-
tronic sensor that detects steam
from cooking food. The oven
"knows" how the food is cooking;
so it can automatically
set the cor-
rect cooking time and maintain the
proper
power level for different
types and amounts of food.
NOTE: Oven will not accept "Auto
Cook Code" if the oven is hot. If
the words "Auto Cook Delay"
appear, you must cool the oven
before using Auto Cook or you
may choose to use Time or Tem-
perature Microwave Cooking.
Easy to Use
Simply touch two control pads—
AUTO COOK and the desired
Code number—and
then START.
A chart on the oven contol panel
gives a complete list of Codes for
frequently prepared foods. The
readout display shows AUTO until
steam is sensed and then signals,
Foods Recommended
A
wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-
roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can

and displays time counting down.
During AUTO, oven should not be
opened, but when oven signals,
most foods should be turned,
stirred, or rotated. Check the
Automatic Cooking Chart for
suggestions.
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such as plastic
wrap secured on all sides, the lid
that came with the container, or
microwave-safe plastic domes are
ideal. For examples of containers
and coverings, see page 8 and the
following recipe section of this
book.
Foods Not Recommended
Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or
which require constant attention,
or adding ingredients
during cooking should be microwaved by TIME COOK.
For foods that microwave best using temperature
probe,
use TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Foods requiring
a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with
TEMP COOK, CONVECTION
or COMBINATION
