sense steam and aroma from the food. To prevent the escape of steam and aroma from the oven, do not open the door while the word AUTO is on the display. If door is opened, ERRORappears. Close door and touch START immediately,
Setting 1, which is designed for easy reheating of foods, automati- cally turns the oven off as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods. Other Auto Cook control set- tings, which are for fresh or frozen foods, need additional time after steam and aroma have been sensed. For these foods, the oven deter- mines the amount of additional time needed, then automatically switches the oven to Time Cook for the neces- sary cooking time remaining. Oven beeps when it switches the oven to Time Cook (AUTO on display is
replaced by numbers indicating cooking time), and oven door can be opened.
Be careful of steam when removing tight covers. When you remove cover, direct the steam away from hands and face.
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and inside of microwave oven are dry.
A few foods need stirrring or rotating after partial cooking. Check the “AutomaticCooking Guide” section on page 11.
We suggest covering foods that tend to spatter to keep the interior of the oven clean. This also helps the food heat more evenly,
Note: use of the DOUBLE
