SENSOR SETTINGS
Blomberg'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:
1. After the microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes
before using any Sensor setting.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the inte-
rior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage tempera-
ture. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts
should be cooked following the guidelines in any micro-
wave cookbook.
5. During Sensor use, the food name will appear on the
display. Do not open the microwave oven or touch STOP/
CLEAR during 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.
6. Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor
properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be dis-
played, and the microwave will turn off.
7. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time
is needed, continue to cook manually.
8. Each food on the menu label has a cooking hint. Touch
the SETTINGS pad when the HELP indicator is illuminated
in the display.
COVERING FOODS:
Some foods cook best when covered. Use the cover recom-
mended in the charts for these foods. See charts beginning
at the bottom of this page and continuing on the following
pages. Refer to the hints by touching the SETTINGS pad.
Recommended covers include:
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for micro-
wave cooking. Cover dish loosely, allowing approximately
1 / inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape.
2
Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely, folding 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.
