I
eliminate your need to look up cooking
time in the Cookbook, or guessing
how long to set cooking time. By actually sensing the steam which escapes
as food microwaves, this feature auto-
frozen foods, need additional time after steam has
been sensed. For these foods, the oven determines
the amount of additional time needed, then automatically switches the oven to Time Cook for the
necessary cooking time remaining. Oven beeps
when it switches to Time Cook (AUTO on readout is
replaced by numbers indicating cooking time), ,and
oven door can be opened.
Be careful of steam when removing tight covers.
When you remove cover, direct the steam away
from hands and face.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
interior of microwave oven are dry.
A few foods need stirring or rotating after partial
cooking. Check the “Automatic Cooking Guide”
section on Daae 27.
Always cover food containers using lids or plastic
wrap. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to
allow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap
firmly around edges. For best resuits, never stretch
plastic wrap tightly over food, or use tight-sealing

Another feature to give you mor&? flexibility in Auto-
matic Cooking is the preference control, which can be
used to “fine tune” the power of Codes 2 through 9. By
simply adding a 1 after a Code, you can set the oven to
cook using 20°/0 less time than the code would reguIarly deliver. For example, if Code 4 cooks your vege-

is sensed and AUTO is
replaced by cook time. At
this point, door may be
opened to check foods if
desired. When done, oven
beeps and stops.
Code 1, which has the least power, is used for quick
reheating jobs while the longer cooking foods like
stew or chili use high codes. A Cooking Chart and
recipes, starting on page 27 give many tested uses for
automatic cooking codes. Remembering that you can

decreasing the Code will give you added flexibility.

time and you will get 20°/0 less cooking time.
Likewise, if you wish slightly more time than a code
delivers, add a 9 after the Code. For the vegetables in
the example above, Code 49 would provide 20°/0 more
time for cooking than would the regular Code 4.

Automatic Defrosting
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven
automatically sets the defrosting time
and Power Levels for you. You choose
the appropriate Code number from 1 to
6 for the food you are defrosting, then
enter the food weight in pounds and
tenths of a pound (see Conversion Chart below) and
touch START. The oven is designed to calculate the
defrosting time and changes Power Levels during
defrosting to give even defrosting results.
When the oven reaches half of the total defrosting
time, the readout flashes “TURN”, telling you to
turn food over and will not continue defrosting until
door is opened and “Start” is touched again.
After defrosting time is complete, the oven automat-
ically goes into a holding period as shown on the
Automatic Defrosting Chart on this page. This
holding period is necessary to finish the defrosting
of the interior of the food.
How to Set Auto Defrost

door, This chart shows minimum and maximum food weights for each Code number. You will need to know your
food weight and corresponding Code before beginning. NOTE: If “ERROR” appears after entering food weight,
