Sensor Cooking
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it
heats. The Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power
level for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using the Sensor settings.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. Sensor Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered
within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing
the door, or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. During the rst part of Sensor cooking, the food name
will appear in the display. Do not open the oven door
or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If
this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue
cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select the
cooking time and variable power.
When the Sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. The
door may be opened when the remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
5. Check the food temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook with variable power
and time.
Microwave Features
6. If the Sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the Sensor
does not detect vapor properly when using Sensor
Reheat, E RROR will be displayed and the oven will turn
off.
7. Any Sensor cooking mode can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 23.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP GUIDE
when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
SELECTING FOODS:
1. The Sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, food for dinner plate
reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and
popcorn at room temperature.
2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be
reheated by time and variable power.
COVERING FOODS:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended for these foods.
1. Casserole lid
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover the dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch the
food.
3. Wax paper: Cover the dish completely; fold excess
wrap under the dish to secure it. If the dish is wider
than the paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch
to cover it.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
