Automatic Cooting
The Auto Cook feature may be
used to eliminate your need to look
up cooking time in the cookbook or
guess how long to set cooking time.
By actually sensing the steam
that escapes as food microwaves,
this feature automatically adjusts
the oven's cooking time to various
types and amounts of food.
Because most cooking containers
must be covered during automatic
cooking, this feature is best with
foods that you want to steam or
retain moisture.
Note:
Use of the me~l Double Duty
shelf with Automatic Cooking
is N~ recommended.

meats, fish casseroles, vegetables,
leftovers and convenience foods
