NOTES:
1. The Auto Sensor system works by detecting a
build-up of steam on the sensor. All foods cooked
using the Auto Sensor should be covered with a
securely fitted lid or plastic wrap. Do not pierce
holes on plastic wrap. As foods cook in a
microwave oven, steam is produced. After the
burst of steam escapes from under the food
covering and is detected by the SENSOR,
two beep signals are heard and the oven
automatically calculates the remaining cooking
time, which counts down in the display window.
2. When a Sensor Reheat/Cook is selected, the
oven door should not be opened for longer than
one minute. Opening the door may cause
inaccurate cooking results. The oven door may be
opened to stir, turn or add foods when "STIR" or
"TURN OVER" appears in the display window.
3. The room air temperature surrounding the oven
should not be above 35°C when using Sensor
Reheat/Cook.
4. Foods less than 100 g should be heated by
micro power and time only, not by Sensor
Reheat/Cook.
5. When the remaining cooking time is over
60 minutes, the time will appear as hours and
minutes.
6. All foods should be taken from their normal
storage place.
7. Before using the Sensor Reheat/Cook make sure
the Ceramic Tray in the oven is dry to assure best
results.
8. Stand time or a power level can be programmed
after Sensor Reheat/Cook.
9. If the oven has been previously used on
CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL, and
it is too hot to be used on a Sensor Program,
a "HOT" will appear in the display window. The
cooling fan will operate to cool the oven rapidly.
After the "HOT" disappears, the program may be
used. If you are in a hurry, cook food manually
i.e. select Micro Power Level and cooking time
yourself.
More/Less Pad:
Preferences for food doneness vary with each
individual. After having used Sensor Reheat/Cook a
few times, you may decide you would prefer your
food cooked to a different doneness. By using the
More/Less Pad, the Auto Sensor programs can be
adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.
Press More/Less Pad after selecting category and
before pressing Start Pad.
1 tap = More
2 taps = Less
3 taps = Original setting
If you are satisfied with the result of the Auto Sensor
program, you don't have to use this pad.
