Utensils & cover for sensor cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting
appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic
wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the
proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not
have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of
the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
Important
• It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking
operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to
ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this
detergent may affect the sensor.
• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will
interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.
• This oven is designed for household use only.

cooking guide
Guide for manual defrosting
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected
guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking.
Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain
away. Put the frozen food on a microwave-safe plate without cover. Turn over half
way, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food
occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of
the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of
aluminum foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the
outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before continuing. Leave
the meat, poultry and fish to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time
for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the
table below.
Hint:
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time
than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C,
use the following table as a guide. All frozen food should be defrosted
using defrosting power level (30 %).
