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 specified 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 control method works on an
entirely different basis—with a special electronic
sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The
oven "knows" how the food is cooking; so it can
automatically
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.

Simply touch two control pads—AUTO 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
a
readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed
nd then signals, 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 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 ideal. For examples of containers
andcoverings, see page 10 and the following recipe
section of this book.

(We with Auto Cook Pad only.)
With Preference Control, you can adjust the Auto-
matic Cooking Feature to your individual taste by
adding either "l" or "9" after Code number. If after
trying the suggested Code, you would prefer less
cooking time, simply add the number "1" after the
Code and the oven automatically lessens the cook-
ing time by 20°/0.If you wish more cooking time, add
"9" after the Code to increase cooking time by 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. Unlike ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levels two or three times
depending on the degree of doneness during cook-
ing to give you the best results automatically. Meat
is cooked evenly, without toughening because lower
power levels are used as the meat temperature rises
thus cooking meats evenly while retaining the nat-
ural juices. After cooking, the oven switches auto-
matically to Hold for an hour. Food stays warm
without overcooking.

Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles,
vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can be
Auto Cooked. Match container size with the food, cover
ecurely, and do not open door during AUTO cycle,
When oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended
in Cookbook or chart on pages 38 and 39.
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 with TIME COOK,
