The 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
foodsthat you want to steam or
retain moisture. Seepage 19 for
containers and coversrecommended
for automatic cooking.

Use of the metal Double Duty~
shelf with Automatic Cooking
is N(YI!recommended.
