Automatic Cooking - GE JKP69 Use And Care Manual

The Auto Cook feature may be used to eliminate your
need to look up cooking time in a cookbook or guess
how long to set cooking time. By actually sensing
the steam that escapes as food microwaves, this
feature automatically adjusts the oven's cooking
time to various types and amounts of food.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish
casseroles, vegetables, leftovers and convenience
foods can be Auto Cooked.
Easy to Use
Simply press three control pads—AUTO COOK,
desired CODE, and START. The word ''AUTO''
appears on the display and the sensor is activated to
sense steam from food.
Auto Cook Codes
Auto Cook codes 1 through 9 are designed to give you
easy automatic results with a number of foods.
Code 1, designed for reheating foods quickly, turns
the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor
detects steam from the foods.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

Because most cooking containers must be covered
during Auto Cook, this feature is best with foods that
you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE: Use of the metal Double Duty™ shelf
with Auto Cook is NOT recommended.
Foods Not Recommended
Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that
require constant attention, foods that require addition
of ingredients during cooking, and foods calling for a
dry look or crisp surface after cooking should not be
Auto Cooked. It is best to Time Cook them.
Foods that microwave best using the temperature
probe should be Temp Cooked or Auto Roasted.
Keep Door Closed
Do not open the oven door while the word ''AUTO''
is displayed—steam escaping from the oven can affect
cooking performance. If the door is opened, close the
door and press the START pad immediately.
When codes 2 through 9 are selected, the oven
determines how much additional cooking time is
needed after steam has been sensed, automatically
switches to TIME COOK and signals. The word
''AUTO'' on the display is then replaced by
countdown numbers indicating remaining cooking
time. When the signal is heard, the oven door may be
opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.
A guide behind the oven door lists cooking codes for
frequently prepared fresh or uncooked foods and
appropriate codes are recommended in the recipes and
cooking guide in the Automatic Cooking section.
