Automatic Roasting  
Auto Roast uses the temperature  
probe to cook to the desired  
serving temperature. Unlike  
Cook & Hold, which uses  
a single power level, Auto Roast  
uses up to 3 power settings which  
automatically switch during  
roasting, thus providing even,  
tender cooking results without  
overcooking.

Questions & Answers  
Q. If my food is not completely  
reheated after using Auto  
Reheat, what should I do?  
Containers and covers  
Appropriate containers  
coverings help assure  
reheating results.  
A. Food must have some moisture  
in order to create steam which  
the auto sensor function.  
Extremely dry foods such as chow  
noodles, potato chips and  
other such foods do not have  
enough moisture.  
A. Use Time Cook in 30-second  
increments.  
Always use microwave-safe  
containers and cover them with  
lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.  
Wonder it’s microwave-safe’? Put  
it the test described in the  
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the  
dish in Auto Reheat?  
A. Oven senses steam too quickly,

A. No. Because of different food

Stir or rotate some foods after  
the beeping signal (if required).  
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted  
chocolate or foods when a dry or  
crisp surface is desirable, are  
reheated best by Time Cook I & 11.  
Q. Would my plastic containers  
with very tight fitting lids be  
appropriate for Auto Reheat?  
A. No, most types of plastic  
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.  
with tight fitting lids are not  
recommended for microwaving.  
Also tight fitting plastic lids may  
prevent adequate steam from  
escaping and food may not heat  
properly during Auto Reheat.  
Use microwave-safe casseroles or  
bowls. Cover with lids that fit.  
lids are not available, use plastic  
wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap  
should be loose over food to allow  
escaping steam. Seal by  
pressing plastic wrap firmly  
around edges.
