Cooking Codes & Preference Control

Automatic cooking codes 1through 9 aredesigned 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 11give many tested uses for automatic cooking codes.

“

Another feature to give you more flexibility in Automatic Cooking is

the preference control, which can

be usedto “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°/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 a 9 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

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 cooked Code, what shouk! ! do?

A. Differences in recipes may result in different cooking times. Use Time Cook and Power Level 10for a few minutes until completion or re-cover and useAuto Cook Code 1 if more time is needed.

CL!30 ailfreshor frozenvegetables

requireastandingperiodafter cookingwithAuto Cook?

A. Most vegetablesare cooked to a

crisp state during Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving. Therefore, it is recommended that you let the vegetablesstand for up to 5 minutes depending on size and

density of pieces.This standing time also enhances the 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

completelycookedwhen 1removed the dishafterAutoCook.M/hatis

wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have been 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.

Q. 00 freshor frozen vegdabks

A. Yes.Add water to the vegetables asrecommended on chart and cover

well for even, complete cooking,

CLWouldmy piasticcontainerswith 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 prevent adequate steam and

aroma from escaping and food may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking. -

Q. I triedto warmsomechow mein noodlesusingAutoCook. Why didn’tthiswork?

A. Food must havesome moisture in order to createsteam which helps the auto sensorfunction. Extremely dry foods such aschow mein noodles, 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 aspeci-

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 resorting to guesswork. This control

method works on an entirely different basis—with a special electronic sensorthat 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 maintain the proper power level for different types and amounts of food. And it’s adjustable to suit your individual 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 prepared 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 coverings help assure good cooking results. Containers should match in

size to the size of the food being cooked. Coverings such as wax 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.

Pre

With Preference Control, you can adjust the Automatic Cooking Feature 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 automatically 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 temperature 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 automatically. Meat is cooked evenly, without toughening because lower power levelsare used asthe meat

temperature rises thus cooking meats evenly while retaining the

natural juices. After cooking the oven switches automatically to Hold for an hour. Food stays warm without overcooking.
