Operation

Sensor Cooking Condition

Using the SENSOR COOK function, the foods are
cooked without figuring time, power level or quantity.
When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it
relays the information to its microprocessor which will
calculate the remaining cooking time and power level
needed for best results.
When food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The
sensor "senses" the vapor and its resistance increases
gradually. When resistance reaches the value set
according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by
experiment with each food category and inputted into the
LSI.
An example of how the sensor works:
(BAKED POTATOES)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted
very slowly.
2. Heat Potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted
rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and
calculates cooking time and variable power.

Cooking Sequence

1. Operate the oven in sensor cooking mode by
referring to the operation manual.
The oven should not be operated on Sensor Cooking
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two minutes
before cooking on Sensor Cooking.
2. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1 and RY3) are ener-
gized, the oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling fan
motor are turned on, but the power transformer is not
turned on.
3. After about 32 seconds, the relay (RY2) is energized.
The power transformer is turned on, microwave
energy is produced and first stage is started. The 32
seconds is the cooling time required to remove any
vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
During this first stage, do not open the door or touch
Clear Off pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, the display switches over to the remaining
cooking time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened to stir food, turn
it or season, etc.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal
sounds. The shut-off relay (RY1 and RY3) and relay
(RY2) are generalized and the power transformer,
oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP CLEAR pad,
the time of day will reappear on the display and the
oven will revert to an OFF condition.
