Questions & Answers
Q. If my food is not completely reheated after using Auto Reheat, what should I do?
A. Use Time Cook in
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto Reheat?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly, which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. To complete reheating use the TIME COOK pad.
AUTO COOK
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.
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 DutyT’M shelf with Auto Cook is NOT recommended.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles, vegetables, leftovers and convenience foods can be Auto Cooked.
Easy to Use
Simply touch three control
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 touch START immediately.
Auto Cook Codes
Auto Cook codes 1 through 8 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 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 “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 Automatic Cooking Control Guide section.
