Sensor Modes
13
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 Modes:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Modes.
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 Modes selection can be pro-
grammed with More or less time adjustment.
See page 22.
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 any sensor cooking or
reheating, food name will appear on the display.
Do not open the oven door 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 manua00y.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time wilt appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
7. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not
detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
ERROR wilt be displayed.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch user pref
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
disp0ay.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the food charts.
!. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish !oosely; 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.
Quick Sensor
You can cook or reheat many foods by touching
a Quick Sensor pad (fresh veggies, frozen veg-
gies, popcorn, baked potato and sensor reheat).
You don't need to calculate cooking time or power
level.
o Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz, bag of
popcorn.
Use the popcorn/bacon tray
provided with your unit to
cook popcorn quickly and
efficiently:
Touch popcorn pad once.
WARNING
Do not place microwave popcorn directly on the
metal turntable as metal on metal may produce
sparking. Always use the popcorn/bacon tray
provided with the unit to cook popcorn.
NOTES
1. Quick Sensor can be programmed with More
or less time adjustment. See page 22.
2. The final result will vary according to the food
condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape,
quality). Check food for temperature after
heating, if additional time is needed, continue
to heat manually.
