Automatic Cooking
| ||
| 67The AU~ COOK feature maybe | |
| used to eliminate your need to look | |
| up cooking time in the 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. | ||
| ||
| Because most cooking containers | |
| must be covered during automatic | |
| cooking, this feature is best with | |
| foods that you want to steam or | |
| retain moisture. See page 19for | |
| containers and covers recommended | |
| for automatic cooking. | |
| Note: | |
| Use of the metal Double Duty~ | |
| shelf with Automatic Cooking | |
| is N(YI! recommended. | |

Automatic Cooking Codes
Automatic Cooking 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.
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 MICRO TIME COOK, signals, and the word “AUTO” on the display is 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 on pages 20 through 27.
