Automatic Cooking Recipe Guide
.omatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic
&lectronic control system thatt 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 ~ime or a selected fin-
ished temperature. And that means looking up
recipes in a cookbook. . .t~ing to convert old
recipes for microwave cookirtg. . .or just resorting
to guesswork. This control method works on an
entirely different basis—with a special electronic
sensor that detects steam fram 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.
Easy to Use
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
readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed
and then signals, and displaystime counting down.
P" -ing AUTO, oven should not be opened, but
v. n
oven signals, most foo@ 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
and coverings, see page 12 and the following recipe
section of this book.
Preference Control
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 200A. If you wish more cooking time, add
"9" after the Code to increase cooking time by 20W0.
Automatic Roasting
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 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.
