Sensor Cooking - Wolf MWD24-2 Service Manual

Theory of Operation
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels (See Figure 3-7). Using lower power levels increases cooking time which is
recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave cookbook or
recipes for specific recommendations.
Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30% (See Figure 3-8):
1. Enter defrost time. Touch number pad 5 0 0.
2. Touch POWER LEVEL pad eight (8) times.
3. Touch START/ADD MINUTE pad.

SENSOR COOKING

Wolf's 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 levels for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
• After the drawer microwave is plugged in, wait two (2) minutes before using any SENSOR setting.
• Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the drawer microwave are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temp.
• Any SENSOR selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment (See page 3-8).
• More or less food than the quantity listed in the Sensor Cooking Guide should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
• During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the drawer microwave
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 manually.
• When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear.
The drawer microwave may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
• If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, for example when popping popcorn, the oven will turnoff, and the
time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.
• Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
• Each food has a cooking hint. Touch SETUP/HELP pad when the HELP indicator is illuminated in the display.
Covering Foods: Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cooking Guide
for these foods. Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you. You may refer to
the hints by touching the SETUP/HELP pad (See Use and Care Manual page 24).
