AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE COOmG Microwaving with the Auto Cook setting offers especially convenient shortcut cooking for many foods. There’s no guesswork about cooking times, no need to look up suggested times in the Cookbook. Instead, a sophisticated sensing device actually detects the steam which escapes from cooking food, and automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time for various types and amounts of food.
AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE COOmG Automatic cooking control is a fully automatic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The guides in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature.
