SENSOR COOKING
The 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.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
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. 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 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 select cooking
time and variable power.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on
the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.
5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook with variable power
and time.
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,
ERROR 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 25.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP 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 in the chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately ½ 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.
REHEAT
You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You
don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.
• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili:
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
remainder of reheating time will appear.
POPCORN
• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn:
Touch Popcorn pad once.
This sensor setting works well with most brands of
microwave popcorn. You may wish to try several and
choose your favorite. Pop only one bag at a time. Unfold
the bag and place in oven according to directions.
