Questions & Answers

Q. 

 does my oven

automatically cut off after the
Auto cycle when using Auto

Cook code 1, when it does not for

other settings?

A. 

When using code 1, there is 

second phase 

 minutes counting

down. 

 the cooking is completed

in the 

 phase or Auto.

Q. If my food is not completely
cooked after using the suggested
code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I 

 power

level 10 

   

 minutes until

completion.

Q. Do all fresh or frozen
vegetables require a standing
period after cooking with Auto
Cook?

A. Most vegetables are cooked
to a crisp 

 during Auto Cook,

just   in regular microwaving,

Therefore, it is recommended that
you let the vegetables stand 

 up

to 5 minutes depending on size 
density   pieces. This standing time
also enhances the overall 

 and

appearance   most vegetables.

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

A. Oven senses 

 too quickly,

which shortens the cooking time
and leaves food undercooked.

Cover tightly 

 reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of
foods make a difference when
using Auto Cook?

A. Yes, in some cases, 
pieces will require additional Time
Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement 

 pieces in the dish,

since proper arrangement is 
a successful tip in regular
microwaving.

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

A. Yes. Add water to the vegetables

 recommended on guide and cover

well 

 even, complete cooking.

Q. Should   use Auto Cook to
cook pudding or sauces?

A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook I 

11 is recommended.

Q. 

My 

scalloped potatoes were

not completely cooked when 

removed the dish after Auto
Cook. What is wrong?

A.   you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce

with potatoes, there may have been

 much remaining moisture in

the oven. Make sure you dry the
oven completely 

 using Auto

Cook since this function operates
properly by sensing steam in 

oven. Also, starting Auto Cook

with hot 

 creates steam in the

oven too soon, and decreases the

 sensing cycle.

Q. Are there any other foods
which are best Time Cooked,
rather than Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies. 
chocolate or 

 when a dry or

crisp surface is desirable are

cooked best by Time Cook I & Il.

Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Cook?

A. No, most types 

 

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids 

 not

recommended 

 microwaving.

Also, tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from

 and 

 keep food 

cooking properly during Auto Cook.

Q.   tried to warm some chow

 noodles using Auto Cook.

Why didn’t this work?

A. Food must have some moisture

in 

 to create steam which

helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow

 noodles, potato chips and

other such 

 do not have

 moisture.

Q. May I use Auto Cook when 
am cooking many foods in more
than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because 

 different 

densities, attention needed during
cooking 

 food amounts, it is

best to use Time Cook   & 

when cooking many
