Automatic Cooking - GE Spacemaker JVM172H Use And Care Manual

Automatic Cooking

The AU~ COOK feature maybe
used to eliminate your need to look
up cooking time in the cookbook or
guess how long to set cooking time.
By actually sensing the steam
that escapes as food microwaves,
this feature automatically adjus~
the oven's cooking time to various
types and amounts of food.
Because most cooking containers
must be covered during automatic
cooking, this feature is best with
foods that you want to steam or
retain moisture. See page 15 for
containers and covers recommended
for automatic cooking.
Note:
Use of the wire shelf with
Automatic Cooking is N~
recommended.
to Use
Simply touch three control pads—
AUTO COOK, desired CODE, and
START. The word "AUTO" appears
on the display and the sensor is
activated to sense steam from food.
Keep Door Closed
Do not open the oven door while
the word "AUTO" is displayed—
steam escaping from the oven can
affect cooking performance. If the
door is opened, the word "ERROR"
appears. Close the door and touch
START immediately.

and convenience foods can be Auto Cooked.
