Automatic Cooking Control is a 'fully automa~lc
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.
Sttfindard cooking techniques require setting the
cwen for a specified cooking time or a selected fin-
ished temperature. And that means iooking up
recipes in a cookbook, , ,trying to convert old
recipes far microwave cooking, , .or just resorting
to guesswork. l"his control method works on an
entirely different basis—with a special electronic
sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The
Qven "knows" how the food is cooking; so it can
autorn~ticaliy set the correct cooking time and
maintain the proper power level for different types
and amounts of food, And it's adjustable to suit
your individual taste,
to
Simply touch two control pads—ALITO COOK and
the 'desired Code number—and then START. A
chart on the oven control panel gives a complete
list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The
readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed
and then signals, and displays time counting down,
During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but after
oven signals, door may be opened to check foods if
desired. Check the Automatic Cooking Chart for
suggestions.
,4ppropriate containers and coverings 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 ideai. For examples of containers
and coverings, see page 8 and the foliowing recipe
section of this book,
With Preference Control, you can adjust the Auto-
matic Cooking Feature to your individual taste by
adding either"1" or "9" after Code number, If after
trying the suggested Code, you wouid prefer less
cooking time, siinply add the number "1" after the
Code and the oven automatically lessens the coc)k-
ing time by 20°/0,If you wish more cooking time, add
"9" after the Code to increase cooking ~imeby 20°/0.
Automatic Roasting uses the temperature probe
rather than the electronic sensor to cook meats
evenly to the desired degree of doneness. The oven
continually monitors the food's internal tempera-
ture. Uniike ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power Ieveis two or three times
depending on the degree of doneness during cook-
ing to give you the best results automatically. Meat
is cooked eveniy, without toughening because lower
power ieveis are used as the meat temperature rises
thus cooking meats eveniy whiie retaining the nat-
urai juices. After cooking, the oven switches auto-
matically to Hoid for an hour. Food stays warm
without overcooking.
Recipes and foods which must be cooked
uncovered, or which require constant atten-
tion, 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 witi~ TIME COOK.
