SENSOR SETTINGS
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 oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
any sensor setting.
• 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.
• 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 17.
• 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 oven 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
oven may be opened when the remaining time appears
on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.
• Except for Popcorn, 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 Set Up/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 charts for these foods. You may refer to
the hints by touching the Set Up/Help pad. See pages 17-18.
• 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.
