Microwave cooking lets you defrost foods quickly, prepare delicious stews, savory casseroles, and vegetables that
come out tender and colorful. It's also an ideal and easy way to reheat leftovers that taste as though they were freshly
Prepared.
Note: 1) See cooking utensils section in your Panasonic Cookbook or page 11 or this manual.
2) Do not use recycled paper products in the oven. They may contain impurities which could cause the paper to
create sparking (arcing), and this could result in a fire during oven operation.
3) Do not operate oven empty.
Auto Sensor Cooking (NE-9970, NE-9970C only)

NOTES ON AUTO SENSOR COOKING:
The Auto Sensor system works by detecting a build-up of steam on the humidity sensor. As foods cook in the
microwave, steam is produced. When foods are covered, the steam will build up and escape from the dish ina
burst. This burst of steam is detected by the humidity sensor and then the oven automatically calculates the
remaining cooking time.
When an Auto Sensor Cycle is selected, Cook A1 through A8 will appear in the display window. The oven door
should not be opened for longer than one minute when Cook A1 through A8 appears in the display window.
to stir, turn or add foods. On Cook A1, no time will appear in display window.
@Auto Sensor Cooking is successful with the foods and recipes.found in the cookbook and marked with the
Symbol[A], Because of the vast differences in food composition, recipes and charts without the Auto Sensor
symbol should be prepared in your microwave oven using the Power and Time features.
When cooking by Auto Sensor, the oven door should not be opened for longer than 1 minute while Cook A1—A8
is in display window. Opening the door for longer than 1 minute may cause inaccurate cooking results. Once
time appears in display window, the door may be opened and foods can be stirred or turned.
®All foods for Auto Sensor Cooking are taken from their normal storage place.
Room temperature of heat surrounding the oven should not be above 95°F when using Auto Sensor Cooking
feature. Inaccurate cooking may result.
Foods less than 3 or 4 ounces should be cooked by Power and Time features, not by the Auto Sensor Cooking
Cycle. The appropriate food categories for each Auto Sensor Cycle are as follows. For further information, refer
to Introduction and Auto Sensor recipes in the Panasonic Cookbook.
Canned Foods, Leftovers, Noodles
Beans, Cauliflower, Peas
Chicken Pieces
Fish, Broccoli
Stews
Frozen Hamburgers
Potato, Carrot
Frozen Chicken Pieces
When the remaining cooking time is over 60 minutes the time will appear as hours and minutes.
Example: If the cooking time is 94 minutes, display window will shaw 1H34. The seconds
will not visibly count down in display window until 59 minutes remain. The time in
display window will then show in minutes and seconds, and count down in
seconds.
Preferences for food doneness vary with each individual.
After having used the Auto Sensor Cycles a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a
different doneness. By using the Doneness Controi Pads, the Auto Sensor programs can be adjusted to cook
food for a longer or shorter time.
Note: "If you are satisfied with the result of cooking with the built-in Auto Sensor program, you do not need to
use these pads.
*Doneness Control Pads can be used with Cook A2—A8 cycles.
¢You may program a desired power level and/or stand time after Auto Sensor programs Cook At through A8.
Examples are:
First Stage
Second Stage
Auto Sensor Cook, A3
Stand, 5 minutes
