l
ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time
in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
l
Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for most even doneness with all recipes.
l
If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, papertowels or microwave approved
plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
Using AUTO SENSOR
The AUTO SENSOR control allows you to cook food in the oven without computing time or
power level. All foods give off moisture, aroma and other vapors as they cook. When the
oven senses the right amount of vapor from the food, it will automatically determine the
remaining time and power needed to finish cooking the food. You only need to touch
COOK/REHEAT or COOK FROZEN and a number pad (for a food setting), then START. For
Slow Cook/Simmer, touch SLOW COOK/SIMMER, then START. If you like your food less done
than average you may decrease the cooking time by touching the “LESS” (Number 1)
Pad after selecting the category (before touching START). If you like your food more done
than average, touch the “MORE” (Number 9) Pad after selecting the category (before
touching START] to extend the time. You may add ingredients, stir, turn or rotate during the
timed portion of the Auto Sensor cycles. However, “Err” will show on the Display if the door
is opened during the first (automatic) part of either cycle. If this happens, open the door
and touch CANCEL. To finish cooking, estimate the remaining time and reset the oven
using the Cook cycle. Do not reset the Auto Sensor. See the AUTO SENSOR chart in-
cluded with your oven and the AUTO SENSOR guide on the inner door panel for exam-
ples of food to cook at each setting.
COOK/REHEAT
Use COOK/REHEAT to automatically cook fresh food items or reheat previously cooked
foods. There are 9 cooking categories in COOK/REHEAT.
