Also automatic microwave cooking (Auto Cook) and automatic microwave defrosting (Auto Defrost), and automatic combination temperature cooking (Auto Roast).
-T YOUR OWN CAN DO Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options. Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cooking utensil or the interior of the oven.

AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE COOmG Microwaving with the Auto Cook setting offers especially convenient shortcut cooking for many foods. There’s no guesswork about cooking times, no need to look up suggested times in the Cookbook. Instead, a sophisticated sensing device actually detects the steam which escapes from cooking food, and automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time for various types and amounts of food.
AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE COOmG Automatic cooking control is a fully automatic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The guides in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature. Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a specified cooking time or a selected finished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook... trying to convert old recipes for microwave cooking...or just resorting to guesswork.

You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 3 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (See Conversion Guide below) and touch START. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

CONECTION T~E COOmNG During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
CO~CTION TE~EWTU~ COOmG You can also convection cook with the temperature probe, to assure that foods are cooked precisely to the degree of doneness desired, while the constantly circulating hot air assures even cooking and delicious browning. The temperature probe monitors the internal temperature of the food and turns the oven off automatically when the desired temperature is reached.
