Automatic Cooting
The Auto Cook feature eliminates
your need to lookup cooking times
in the cookbook or guess how long
to set cooking time. By actually
sensing the steam that escapes as
food microwaves, this feature
automatically adjusts 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.
Note:
Use of the metal shelf with
Automatic Cooking is N~
recommended.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods, including
meats, fish casseroles, vegetables,
leftovers and convenience foods,
can be Auto Cooked.
Foods Not Recommended
Foods that must be cooked uncovered,
foods that require constant attention
foods that require addition of
ingredients during cooking and
foods calling for a dry look or crisp
surface after cooking should not be
Auto Cooked. It is best to Time
Cook them.
Foods that microwave best using
the temperature probe should be
to Use
Easy
Simply touch three control pads—
AUTO COOK, desired CODE and
START. The word "AU~" 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, close the door and
touch START immediately.
Automatic Cooking Codes
Automatic cooking codes 1 through
8 are designed to give you easy
automatic results with a number
of foods.
Code 1, designed for reheating
foods quic~y, turns the oven off
automatically as soon as the sensor
detects steam from the foods.
When codes 2 through 8 are
selected, the oven determines how
much additional cooking time is
needed after steam has been sensed,
automatically switches to TIME
COOK and signals. The word
"AUTO" on the display is then
replaced by cooking time, counting
down. When the signal is heard,
the oven door may be opened for
stirring, turning or rotating food.
A guide behind the oven door lists
cooking codes for frequently prepared
fresh or uncooked foods and
appropriate codes are recommended
in the recipes and Automatic
Cooking Control Guide on pages
22 and 23.
