ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If neces- sary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes

If a glass cover is not available, use wax paper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.

Using AUTO SENSOR

The Auto Sensor Control allows you to cook food in the oven without comput- ing time or power level. All foods give off moisture, aroma and other vapors as they cook When the oven senses the right amount of vapor from the food, it

will automatically determine the remaining time and power needed to finish cooking the food. You only need to touch COOK/REHEAT or COOK FROZEN and a number pad (for a food setting), then START.If you like Your food less done than average you may decrease the cooking time by touching the LESS (Number 1) Pad after selectrng the category [before touching START).If You like Your food more done than average, touch the MORE (Number91 Pad after selecting the category (before touching STARI) to extend the time. You may add ingredients, star,turn or rotate during the timed portion of the Auto Sensor cycles. However, “Err”WIII show on the Display if the door is opened during the first [automatic) part of either cycle. If this happens, open the door and touch CANCEL To finish cooking, estimate the remaining time and reset the oven using Cook 1 cycle. Do not reset the Auto Sensor. See the Auto Sensor Chart included with Your oven and the Auto Sensor Guide on the inner door panel for examples of food to cook at each setting.
