The AUTO COOK pad may be used

door is opened, ERRORappears.
Close door and touch START
immediately,
Setting 1,which is designed for
easy reheating of foods, automati-
cally turns the oven off assoon as
the sensor detects steam from the
foods. Other Auto Cook control set-
tings, which arefor fresh or frozen
foods, need additional time after
steam and aroma havebeensensed.
Forthese foods, the oven deter-
mines the amount of additional time
needed,then automatically switches
the ovento Time Cook for the neces-
sary cooking time remaining. Oven

Auk
Cooking Codes &
Preference Control
Automatic cooking codes 1through
9 are designed to give you easy
automatic resultswith a number
of foods.
Codes are arranged in lowest to
highest amount of power. For
example, Code 1 gives least micro-
wavecooking power, Code 2 gives
more power than Code 1,Code 3
increasespower over Code 2 and
so on.
Code 1,which hasthe least power,
is usedfor quick reheating jobs
while the longer cooking foods like
stew or chili use higher codes. A
Cooking Chart and recipes,starting
on page 11 give many tested uses
for automatic cooking codes.
“
Another feature to give you more
flexibility in Automatic Cooking is
the preference control, which can
be used to “fine tune” the power
of Codes 2through 9. By simply
adding a 1 after a Code,you can set
the oven to cook using 20°/0less
time than the code would regularly
deliver. Forexample, if Code 4
cooks your vegetablesmore done
than you like them, set Code 41
next time and you will get 20°/0less
cooking time.
Likewise, if you wish slightly more
time than a code delivers,add a9
after the Code. Forthe vegetables
in the example above,Code 49
would provide 20°/0more time for
cooking than would the regular
Code 4.

Q. Why does my oven
cutoffafterWeAUTO cyclewhen
usingAutoCook C%ntm)iCode 1
V#Wnit doesnot!or otfwrsettings?
A. When using Code 1,there is no
second phaseof minutes counting
down. All the cooking is completed
in the first phaseor AUK?.
c1.Hthe food
ism?tmmpkkdy
cooked
afterwing the suggested
Code, what shouk! ! do?
A. Differences in recipes may result
in different cooking times. Use
Time Cook and Power Level10for
a few minutes until completion or
re-cover and useAuto Cook Code 1
if more time is needed.
CL!30ail freshor frozenvegetables
requirea standingperiodafter
cookingwithAuto Cook?
A. Most vegetablesare cooked to a
crisp state during Auto Cook, just
as in regular microwaving. There-
fore, it is recommended that you let
the vegetablesstand for up to 5
minutes depending on sizeand
density of pieces.This standing
time also enhancesthe overall
flavor and appearance of most
vegetab~es.
CLWhat if !don’tcoverthedishin
Autocook?
A. While cooking without the cover
does not affect sensor performance,
we suggest covering dishes that
may spatter to keep the oven clean.
Covering aiso helps foods heat
evenly.
C?.Do the shapes and sizesof food
makea differencewhenusingAuto
cook’?
A=Yes,in some cases,larger pieces
will require additional Time Cook-
ing, Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish,
sirme proper arrangement is often
a successful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Should i useAutoCook tocook
puddingorsauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not
open the door during the AUTO
phase of cooking without affecting
end cooking results.
Ct.My scallopedpotatoeswerenot

the dishafterAuto Cook.M/hatis
wrong?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there may havebeen
too much remaining moisture in the
oven. Makesure you dry the oven
completely before using Auto Cook
since this function operatesproperly
by sensing steam and aroma in the
oven. Also starting Auto Cook with
hot foods creates steam and aroma
in the oven too soon, and decreases
the first sensing cycle.
Q. Are there any otherfoodswhich
are bestTime Cooked,ratherthan
Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted
chocolate or foods when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.

CLWouldmypiasticcontainerswith
verytightfittinglids13eappropriate
forAutomaticCooking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage
dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight
fitting lids are not recommended for
microwaving. Also tight fitting lids
may preventadequate steam and
aroma from escaping and food may
not cook properly during Automatic
Cooking. -
Q. I triedto warmsomechowmein
noodlesusingAutoCook. Why
didn’tthiswork?
A. Food must havesome moisture
in order to createsteam which helps
the auto sensor function. Extremely
dry foods such aschow mein noo-
dles, potato chips and other such
foods do not haveenough moisture.

--- Automatic Cooking Control is a
_-, ti;ly-automatic electronic control
systemthat lets your microwave
vendo the cooking for you. The
harts and recipes in this section
are designed to help you makethe
most of this feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for a speci-
fied cooking time or a selected fin-
ishedtemperature, And that means
looking up recipes in acookbook. ..
trying to convert old recipes for
microwave cooking. . .or just resort-
ing to guesswork. This control
method works on an entirely dif-
ferent basis—with a special elec-
tronic sensor that detects steam
and aromas from cooking food.
The oven “knows” how the food is
cooking; so it can automatically set
the correct cooking time and main-
tain the proper power level for dif-
ferent types and amounts of food.
And it’s adjustable to suit your indi-
vidual taste.
Eatouse
Simply touch two control pads—
AUTO COOK and the desired Code
number—and then START.A chart
on the oven control panel givesa
list of Codes for frequently pre-
pared foods. The display shows
AUTO until steam is sensedand
then signals, and displays time
counting down. During AUTO, oven
should notbe opened, but after
oven signals, door may be opened
to check foods if desired. Check the
Automatic Cooking Chart for
suggestions.
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such aswax
paper, the lid that came with the
container, or microwave-safe plastic
domes are ideaL For examples of
containers and coverings, see page
8 and the following recipes.
IFm’
-
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-
—
roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods
c~fi be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the
.- -“food, cover securely, and do not open door while
AAUTO appears on display.
..
“%~y”
Pre
With Preference Control, you can
adjust the Automatic Cooking Fea-
ture to your individual taste by
adding either “l” or “9’ after Code
number. If aftertrying the suggested
Code, you would prefer lesscooking
time, simply add the number “l”
after the Code and the oven auto-
matically lessensthe cooking time
by 20°/0.If you wish more cooking
time, add “!3”after the Code to
increasecooking time by 20°/0
Jkubmtic Roasting
Automatic Roasting usesthe tem-
perature probe rather than the elec-
tronic sensorto cook meatsevenly
to the desired degree of doneness.
The oven continually monitors the
food’s internal temperature. Unlike
ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levelstwo or
three times depending on the
degree of doneness during cooking
to give you the best results auto-
matically. Meat is cooked evenly,
without toughening because lower
power levelsare usedas the meat
temperature risesthus cooking
meats evenly while retaining the
natural juices. After cooking the
oven switches automatically to Hold
for an hour. Food stayswarm
without overcooking.
FoN Fkc
Recipesand foods which must be cooked uncovered,
or which require constant attention, or adding ingre-
dients during cooking should be microwaved by
TIME COOK, For foods that microwave best using
temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST, Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after
cooking cook best with TIME COOK,

Q. why wasn’t my roast fully
cookedeventhoughthe tempera-
tureon the displaywascorrec~and
AutoRoastwascompleted.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast.Check your Cookbook to see
what you might havedone wrong.
Q. Do some types of trivetswork
betterthanothers?
A. Yes.Flat glasstrivets generally
provide more browning to the
bottom of meatsthan plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes usually work well.
Plastic trivets may require meat to
beturned over more often than
glasstrivets do becausethe grid
design
and legs let the bottom Of
the meat stay cooler than glass
trivets do,

tinueto cookduringthehokfing
