Q.Whydoesmyovenautomatically cutoffafterthe

———

AUTOcyclewhenusingAutoCook ControlCode1
whenitdoesnotforother settings?

A.

When using Code 1, there is no second phaseof

minutes counting down.

All the cooking is com-

pletedin the first phaseor AUTO.
Q. If myfoodis not completelycookedafterusing

the suggested Auto Cook Control Code, what
shouldIdo?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some

additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
PowerLevel10for afewminutesuntilcompletion.

*

Q. Da all fresh or frozen vegetables require a
standingperiodaftercookingwithAUTOCOOK?

A. Mostvegetablesare cooked to a crisp statedur-

ing Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving.
Therefore,it is recommendedthat you let the vege­tables stand for up to 5 minutes depending on size
and density of pieces. This standing time also en­hances the overall flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto

Cook?

A. Oven sensessteam too

quickly which shortens

the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish,

Recovertightly andresetAuto Cook.

Q. Do the shapesand sizesof food makea diHer-

encewhenusingAuto(XX)k?
A.Yes,in somecases,larger pieces will require ad-

ditional Time Cooking. Be

sure to check suggested

arrangementof pieces in the dish, since proper ar­rangementis often asuccessfultip in regular mlcro-

wavingc

~.

~t’iOU!d I UW3 Auto Cook to cook Pudd6n9or

sauces?

A, Most pudding and sauce recipes require stirring
manytimes during cooking; therefore, TimeCook is
recommendedsince you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affect­ingend cooking results.

Q. My scalloped potatoes were not completely
cookedwhen ! removedthe dish after AutoCook.
Whatiswrong?

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 ovon completely before us=
ing Auto Cook since this function operates properly
by sensing steam in the oven, Also, starting Auto
Cook with hot foods creates steam in the oven too
soon,anddwm?asesthefirstsensing cycle.

G?.Are there any other foods whichare best Time

Cooked,rathtwthanAutoCooked?

A. t3akery foods, candies, melted chocolate or

foods when a dry or

crisp surface is desirable, are

cookedbest byTimeCook.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetablesrequire water
whenusingAutoCook?

A. Yes.Add water as recommendedon chart to the

vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.

Q. Wouldmyplasticcontainers withverytight fit-

tinglidsbeappropriateforAutomatic Cooking?
A. No,

most types of plastic storagedishes,butter

tubs,etc.withtight fitting lids arenotrecommended

for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may

prevent adequate steam from escaping and food
maynot cook properly during Automatic Cooking.

Q. I triedto warmsomechowmeinnoodlesusing

Auto Cook. Whydidn’tthiswork?
A. Foodmusthavesomemoisture in ordertocreate

steam which helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles,
potato chips and other such foods do not have

enough moisture.

Q. MayI useAutoCookwhenI am cookingmany

A. No,bqcauseofdifferent fooddensities, attention

Q.Whywasmyroastnotfullycookedeventhough
the temperatureGti the readoutwas correct and

A. When cooking with Auto Roast,the temperature

probe must be inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotat­ing, the probe should be checked to makesure it

reappeared.Why’?

A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below

80”, or probe may have been repositioned. Con-

tinue roasting and numberswill soon reappear.

Ct.Arethereany particulartrivetsthat work better

thanothers?
A. Yes,flat glass trivets such as lids or dish covers

give more even cooking results than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work
well. Plastic trivets require meat to be turned over

more frequently becausethe grid design and iegs
allow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks,than glasstrivets do.

Ct.Whycioe$n?the roastcontinuecookingduring

A. The oven automatically reachesfinished temper-

ature and then decreasesto a lower power level to
prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is

Automatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic

—.—.——.—.-.————

electronic control systemthat lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The charts and
recipes in this section are designed to help you
makethe mostof this truly new feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the

oven for a specified cooking time or a selected fin­ished temperature.

for microwave cooking. . .or just resorting

And that means looking up

to guesswork. This control method works cman
entirely different basis—with a special electronic
sensorthat detects steamfrom cooking food. The
oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can
automatically set the correct cooking time and

maintain the proper power levelfor different types

and amounts of food. And it’s adjustable.to suit

your individual taste.

Easyto I&M!

Simply touch two control pads–AUTO C0C3Kand
the desired Code number—and then START. A
chart on the oven control panel gives a complete

list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The

readout display shows AUTCluntil steamis sensed
andthen signals,anddisplaystime counting down.

During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but

when oven signals, most foods should be turned,
stirred, or rotated. Check the Automatic Cooking

Chartfor suggestions.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good cooking results. Containers should match in

sizeto the sizeof the food being cooked.Coverings
such as plastic wrap secured on all sides,the lid

that came with the container, or microwave-safe
plastic

and coverings,seepage8andthefollowing

section of this book. ~ÿ

With PreferenceControl, you can adjust the Auto­matic Cooking Featureto your individual taste by
adding either “l” or “9” after Code number.Ifafter
trying the suggested Code, you would prefer less

Automatic Roasting uses the temperature probe
rather than the electronic sensor to cook meats
evenlyto thedesireddegreeof doneness.Theoven
continually monitors the food’s internal tempera­ture. Unlike ordinary Temperature Cooking, the

depending on the degree@donenessduring cook­ing to give you the bestrewlts automatically.Meat
