Automatic Cooting
The Auto Cook feature eliminates your need to lookup cooking times 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.
Note:
Use of the metal shelf with Automatic Cooking is N~ recommended.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods, including meats, fish casseroles, vegetables, leftovers and convenience foods, can be Auto Cooked.
Foods Not Recommended
Foods that must be cooked uncoveti,
—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.
Easy to Use
Simply touch 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.
Keep Door Closed
Do not open the oven door while the word “AU~” is displayed— steam escaping from the oven can affect cooking performance. If the door is opened, close the door and touch START immediately.
Automatic Cooking Codes
Automatic cooking codes 1 through 8 are designed to give you easy automatic results with a number of foods.
Code 1, designed for reheating foods quic~y, turns the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods.
When codes 2 through 8 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 “AU~” on the display is then replaced by cooking time, counting down. 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 recommend in the recipes and Automatic Cooking Control Guide on pages 22 and 23.
