SENSOR COOKING
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor
Cooking.
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. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed with
MORE or LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT. See page 18.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should
be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave
cookbook.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking, the food name will
appear on 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 cook manually.
7. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
remainder of cooking time will appear. The door may be
opened when remaining cooking time appears on the
display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
8. 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 cooking other foods,
ERROR
will be displayed, and the
oven will turn off.
9. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking.
If
food is not completely cooked, enter additional cooking
time manually.
Do not press SENSOR COOK again as
food may overcook.
10. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch
SETUP/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 Sensor Cooking chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. 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.
3. 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.
EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food and
touching
START
. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or
power level.
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

desired option.
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 level for various foods and quantities.
