One Touch Sensor Cooking; Keep Warm - KitchenAid KBMS1454R Use And Care Manual

One Touch Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected pad.
Use the following chart as a guide for the ONE TOUCH pads.
FOOD SERVING SIZE
Popcorn* 3.0-3.5 oz (85-99 g)
or 1.75 oz (50 g)
Baked 1-4 medium,
Potato 10-13 oz (283-369 g)
each, similar in size
Meal 1 serving (1 plate),
Reheat 8-16 oz (227-454 g)
*Do not use regular paper bags or glassware. Listen for popping
to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle. Do
not try to pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of popcorn for
optimal results. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat
content. For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions
on package. If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow
manufacturer's instructions.
To Use One Touch Sensor Cooking:
Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged
in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F
(35°C), and the microwave oven cavity is dry.
REMEMBER: If the door is opened while the sensor is "sensing"
(sensor animation active in the display), the sensor cycle will be
canceled.
To Use Baked Potato and Meal Reheat: Place item on turntable
and close the door.
1. Touch BAKED POTATO or MEAL REHEAT.
The microwave oven will automatically turn on. The sensor
animation will briefly appear, followed by the estimated
remaining cook time.
Doneness may be adjusted during the first 20 seconds of
cooking by turning the dial. See "Doneness" section.
The remaining cook time may be recalculated several times
during cooking. Each time, the sensor animation will appear
for 3 seconds, followed by the new remaining time.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
2. Touch CANCEL/OFF or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
