SENSOR SETTINGS
Bertazzoni's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it
heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels
for various foods and quantities.
• After the microwave is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using any sensor setting.
• Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior
of the microwave are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry
cloth or paper towel.
• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
• Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See page 15.
• More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts
should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave
cookbook.
• During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear
on the display. Do not open the microwave or touch
STOP/
CLEAR
during this part of the 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 cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor
emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating
time will appear. The over the range microwave may be
opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At
this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
• If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping
popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the time of day will be
displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly
when cooking other foods,
ERROR
will be displayed, and
the microwave will turn off.
• Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is
needed, continue to cook manually.
• Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the
HELP
pad when
the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
COVERING FOODS
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the INSTANT SENSOR and SENSOR
COOK.
• Casserole lid
• Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave
cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic
wrap should not touch food.
• Wax paper: Cover dish completely. Fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
