49 Use metalonly as directedin Cookbook.Metal strips as used

on meat, roastsare helpful when used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in

metal trays but when using shelf they must be replaced in their box. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keepmetal

[otherthan metalshe!f)at least l-inch awayfromsidesof oven.

64 Cooking utensilsmay becomehot becauseof heat

transferred from the heated food, This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

should be used carefully, EikHi

microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking com3iticmsas are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short

periods

overcooking. In longer exp6-

sures to overcooking, the food

and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use rnicr’owave plastics only “and use {hem” in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s

recommendations} 2) Da not wbject empty Mcmsilsto microwaving, 3) Do not permit children to UW3plastic ukmsils without complcto supervision.

@ When cooking pork follow our directions exactly and always cook the meat to at least 170°. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

e Boilingeggs (in and out of shell)isnot recommendedfor microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury,

a Foods with unbrokenouter

“skin”such as potatoes, hot

dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (seeabove) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

@ ‘Boilable”cookingpouches

andtightlyclosedplasticbags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should beat least partially uncovered

because they form a tight seal, When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face,

TheAuto Cook padmay beused to eliminate your need to fook 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 featureautomatically adjusts the oven’s cooking timeto varioustypesand amounts of food.

Becausecooking containers must be covered, this feature is bestwith -foodswhich you wish to steam or to retain moisture. Foodswhich are best microwaveduncoveredor only lightly covered should be cooked using time or temperature settings.

After touching the Auto Cook pad, and pressing Start, you will see the word AUTO cmthe readout, which indicates that the sensor has been activated to sense steam from the food. To prevent the es= capeof steamfrom the oven,do not open the door while the word AU’TOis on the readout. If ‘door is opened, ERROR appears. Close door and touch STARTimmediately.

Setting 1,which is designed for easy reheating of foods, automatically turns the oven off as soon as

the sensor detects steam from the foods. C)ther Auto Cook control settings, which are for fresh or frozen foods, need additional time after steamhas beensensed.Forthesefoods, the ovendetermines the amount of additional time needed,then automatically switches the oven to Time Cook for the necessary cooking time remaining. Oven beeps whenit switchesto Time Cook (AUTOon readoutis repiacedby numbersindicating cooking time), and ovendoor canbeopenedfor stirringor rotating food. Be carefui of steam when removing tight covers. When you remove cover, direct the steam away from handsand face.

Be sure the exterior of tne cooking container and interior of microwaveovenare dry.

Always cover food containersusinglidsor plastic

Automatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic electronic control systemthat letsyour microwave oven do the cooking for you. The charts and recipes in this section are designed to help you makethe most of this truly new feature.

Standard

cooking techniques require setting the

oven for a specified cooking

time or aselectedfinished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a

cookbook. . 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 sensor that detects steam 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 Ieveifor different ‘types and amounts of food. And it’s adjustable to suit

your individual taste.

Simply touch two control pads—AUTOCOOK and the desired Code number–and then START. A chart on the oven control panel gives a compiete list of CC@%for frequently prepared foods. The readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed

—

and then signals, anddisplays time counting down.

During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but when cwensignals, most foods should be turned, stirred, or rotated, Check the Autcmatic Cooking Chart far suggestions.

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

sizeto the sizeofthe food beingcooked.Coverings such as plastic wrap secured on all sides, the lid that came with the container, or microwave-safe

plasticdomesare ideal. Forexamplesof containers andcoverings,seepage12and the following recipe sectionof this book.

With PreferenceControl, you can adjust theAuto-

matic Cooking f%atur~to yuur individual taste by

adding either”1” or “9” after Codenumber, Ifafter trying the suggested Code, yOIJwould prefer less cooking time, simply add the number“l” after the

Codeand the ovenautomatically lessensthe cook-

ing time by 20%,Ifyou wish morecooking time,add “9” after theCodeto increasecooking time by

2CW0.

Automatic Roasting uses the te~perature probe

rather than the electronic sensor to cook meats evenlyto the desireddegreeof doneness.Theoven continually monitors the food’s internal temperature, Unlike ordinary Temperature Cooking, the oven changes power levels two or three times depending on the degreeof donenessduring cooking to giv~ you the btist:e.suits.automatically.

andAnswers

Q.Whydoesmy oven automatically cut off afterthe

AUTO cycle when using Auto Cook Control Code 1 when it does not for other settings?

When usingCode 1,there is nosecond phaseof

minutes counting down.

All the cooking is com-

pleted

inthefirst phaseor AUTO.

If my food is not completely cooked after using

the suggested

Auto Cook Controi Code, what

shouid i

CfO?

A. Thick starchy or densefoodsmay req’uiresome

additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and PowerLevel10for afew minutesuntil completion.

Q. Do

aii fresh or frozen vegetables require a

standing period after cooking with AUTO COOK? A.

Mostvegetablesare cooked to a crisp “stateduring Auto Cook, just as in reguiar 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 fuiiy cover the dish in AtIto

Cook? A.

Oven senses steam too quickiy which shortens the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish. Recovertightly andresetAuto Cook,

Q. Do

the shapes and sizes of food make a differ-

ence when using Auto Cook? A. Yes,

in somecases,iarger pieces wiil require additional TimeCooking, Be sure to check suggested arrangementof pieces in the dish,since proper arrangementisoften asuccmssfuitip inreguiar microwaving,

fWXJid i USE?Ado (23A tO tx3dfp#dding Or

sauces? A.

Most pudding and sauce recipes require stirring

manytimesduring cooking: therefore,Time Cook is

recommendedsince you should not open the door during the AUTO phase of cooking without aff@ctingend cookingresults.

Q. My

scaiiopecf potatoes were not completely

cooked when I removed the dish after Auto Cook.

Whatis wrong? A. If you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to

combining thesauce with potatoes,there mayhave

been too much remaining moisture in the oven,

Make sure you dry the oven completely before us-

ing Auto Cook since this function operatesproperly

by sensing steam in the oven. Also, starting Auto Cook with hot foods create~ steam in the oven too soon,and decreasesthefirst sensingcycle.

Are there any other foods which are best Time

Cooked, rather Man Auto

Cooked?

& Bakery foods, candies, melted chocoiate or

foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are

cooked best byTime Cook.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water when using Auto Cook?

A.Yes.Add water asrecommendedon chart to the vegetables and cover weil for even, corpplete cooking.

Wouid my piastic containers with very tight fit-

ting iids beappropriate for Automatic Cooking?

A. No,

most types of plastic storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.with tight ’fitting lids are not recommended for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may prevent adequate steam from escaping and food maynot cook properly during Automatic Cooking.

C!. 1tried to warm some chow mein noodles using

Auto Cook. Why didn’t this work?

A. Foodmusthavesomemoisture inorder to create 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. May i use

Auto Cook when i am cooking many

foods in more than one dish or casseroie? A. No,

becauseofdifferoni fooddensities,attention

neededduring cooking, andfoodamounts,

itis best

useTiME COOK when cooking manyfoods,

(2,Whywasmyroastnotfullyrooked even though

thetemperature on the readout was correct and AutoRoastcompieted? A.

Whencooking with Auto Roast,the temperature probe mustbe inserted properiy as fuiiy described in the Cookbook.

(1. Are there any parthdar trivets that work better

thanothers’?

A. Yes,

flat giasstrivets such as iids or dish covers give more even cooking resuits than piastic trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work weli. Piastic trivets require meat to be turned over

more frequently because the grid design and iegs allow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it cooks,thanglasstrivetsdo.

(2. Why doesn’t the roast car!tinue co~king during thestanding or holding thne?

The oven automaticallyreaches finished temper-

ature and then decreasesto a iower power ievel to

prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is

maintained.

Q. I entered Auto EX!frostCodQ1, then the number 4 for 4 iba. cdchicken, The rwadoutflashed “Start’* but when I touched $tarl “EF16K)F?”flashed. Why?

To TypesofFoodsTogether

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must

be placed on the ovenshelf, while foods which are only warmed should beplacedon the floor. This

is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top only. Also, it is

importantto remember

that

foods absorb microwave

energy atdifferent rates.Ratescan

beaffected by the sizeof the food,

and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates you mayneedto start reheatingalarge

or densefood a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the several foods you are

heating seems under cooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the undw’heated food continue cooking,
