Sensor Reheat - Fisher & Paykel CMOS-24SS Installation Instructions And User Manual

MICROWAVE FEATURES
SENSOR
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted
from 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. SENSOR 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 mode can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 48.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP MENU 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
1
approximately / inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not
2
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.

SENSOR 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 SENSOR REHEAT pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear.
