NOTES:

If you do not enter a quantity within 2 seconds, AUTO COOK will prompt you to choose a quantity. You then have 1 minute to enter a quantity and to touch START. If you do not do so, AUTO COOK will be canceled.

If you touch AUTO COOK 6 times, the display returns to the Rice setting.

If you need more or less cooking time, do not touch AUTO COOK again. Touch COOK POWER before you touch START. (See “Changing preset cooking times” in the “Using Your Microwave Oven” section.)

When cooking bacon, keep in mind that differences in the amount of fat, meat, thickness, and curing process will affect how bacon is cooked. Also, regular sliced bacon averages about 16 slices per pound.

*You must touch AUTO COOK once before choosing the food type.

**Because this food is cooked by the sensor, you don’t need to enter a quantity. The amount shown here is the amount you can cook. After you choose the food type and touch START, “SENSE” appears on the display. Also, the sensor needs 2

minutes, 30 seconds to warm up after the oven is connected to power or after a power failure. If you start sensor cooking during the warm-up, “SENSE” shows on the display until the warm-up is over. Microwave energy will not be turned on until the sensor is warm.
