GE 49-4560-1 Microwave Oven User Manual


 
The Auto Cook pad maybe used
to eliminate your need to fook
up cooking time in the Cook-
book, or guessing how long to
set cooking time. By actually
sensing the steam which escapes as food micro-
waves,this feature automatically adjusts the oven’s
cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Becausecooking containers must be covered, this
feature is best with -foodswhich you wish to steam
or to retain moisture. Foodswhich are best micro-
waved uncovered or 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=
cape of steam from the oven,do not open the door
while the word AU’TO is 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 steam has
beensensed.Forthese foods, the ovendetermines
the amount of additional time needed, then auto-
matically switches the oven to Time Cook for the
necessary cooking time remaining. Oven beeps
when it switchesto Time Cook (AUTOon readout is
repiaced by numbers indicating cooking time), and
ovendoor canbeopenedfor stirring or rotating food.
