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 Ievei for different 'types
and amounts of food. And it's adjustable to suit
your individual taste.
Simply touch two control pads—AUTOCOOK and
the desired Code number–and then START. A
chart on the oven control panel gives a compiete
list of CC@%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
when cwen signals, most foods should be turned,
stirred, or rotated, Check the Autcmatic Cooking
Chart far 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
and coverings,see page 12and the following recipe
section of this book.
With Preference Control, you can adjust the Auto-
matic Cooking f%atur~ to yuur individual taste by
adding either"1" or "9" after Code number, If after
trying the suggested Code, yOIJwould prefer less
cooking time, simply add the number "l" after the
Code and the oven automatically lessensthe cook-
ing time by 20%,If you wish more cooking time, add
"9" after the Code to increasecooking time by
2CW0.
Automatic Roasting uses the te~perature 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 donenessduring cook-
ing to giv~ you the btist:e.suits. a utomatically. Meat
