Principle
With Auto Cooking , the oven calculates the cooked time needed.
Unlike conventional cooking, you do not need to set a type of heat or cooking time. Instead,
you simply select the desired food type from the category menu.
" You can use Auto Cooking on one oven level only.
Only use the fat filter when roasting! Otherwise the oven cannot calculate an optimal
cooking time.
To attain optimum results, you should use the recommended cookware and/or accessories.
You can find further information in the section Tips, Charts and Advice.
