AUTOMATIC COOKING CONTROL GUIDE
• Do not open oven door during Auto cycle. When
oven signals and countdown time is displayed, door
may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.
To resume cooking, close door and touch START.
• Match the amount of food to the size of container.
Fill containers at least 1/2 full.
• Add 1/4–1/2 cup water to fresh vegetables.
• Most foods should be covered with lid to dish or
wax paper to prevent spattering to keep oven clean.
Spareribs, pot roasts and meat loaf should be
covered tightly to ensure even cooking.
• Be sure outside of container and inside of oven
are dry.
• If food needs additional cooking, return to oven and
use Auto Cook Code 1.
• Use preference control “1” or “9” to adjust cook
times to suit your individual tastes. See Automatic
Cooking Code section.
• Use of Automatic Cooking feature with DOUBLE
DUTY™ shelf is not recommended.
NOTE: Oven will not accept “Auto Cook Code” if the oven is hot. If the words “Auto Cook Delay” appear, you
must cool the oven before using Auto Cook or you may choose to use Time or Temperature Microwave Cooking.
