EasyCook Automatic Programming

Introduction to EasyCook
Automatic programming makes it easy to prepare food.
Your steam oven's EasyCook mode automatically sets the
oven to cook 27 different foods.
The following pointers will help you get excellent results
with EasyCook:
• Use only ONE level of the oven with EasyCook
programs.
• Use the recommended ovenware. All meals have been
tested using this ovenware, and results may vary if
different ovenware is used.
• When cooking food in a perforated cooking pan, insert
the baking pan at rack level 1 to catch any drippings.
• Add liquid and food mixtures such as rice and water no
more than 1.6 inches up the side of the cooking pan.
• Automatic programming requires that you know the
weight of the food. For individual pieces, like pieces of
chicken, always enter the weight of the largest piece.
The total weight must be within the preset weight
range.
• Cooking results may vary depending on the amount
and quality of the food.
• You can change the cooking time during the first 10
minutes, since the preheat time depends on conditions
such as the temperature of the water and of the food
being cooked.
