Note: During
alternate
Microwave/Convection
opera-
tion, the convection
heater is energized
only
if
the cavity temperature
drops below the set tem-
perature.
SENSOR COOKING
CONDITION
Using
the SENSOR
COOK function,
the foods
are
cooked without
figuring
time, power level or quantity.
When the oven senses enough
steam from the food, it
relays the information
to its microprocessor
which
will
calculate
the remaining
cooking
time and power
level
needed for best results.
When the food
is cooked,
water vapor
is developed.
The sensor "senses"
the vapor and its resistance
in-
creases
gradually.
When
the resistance
reaches
the
value set according
to the menu, supplementary
cook-
ing is started.
The time of supplementary
cooking
is'.determined
by
experiment
with each food category
and inputted
into
the LSI.
An example of how sensor works:
1.
Broccoli
at room temperature.
Vapor is emitted very slowly.
2.
Heat broccoli.
Moisture
and humidity
is emitted
rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
3.
Sensor detects
moisture
and humidity
and calcu-
lates cooking
time and variable
power.
Cooking
Sequence.
1.
Touch SENSOR COOK pad.
NOTE:The
oven should
not be operated
on SEN-
SOR COOK
immediately
after plugging
in
the unit. Wait five minutes
before cooking
on SENSOR COOK.
2.
Select desired Sensor setting.
3.
Touch START pad.
4.
The coil of shut-off
relays(RY2,RY5)
are energized,
the oven lamp and cooling
fan motor
are turned
on, but the power transformer
is not turned on,
After about
16 seconds,
the cook relay (RYI)
is
energized.
The
power
transformer
is turned
on,
microwave
energy
is produced
and first stage
is
started.
The 16 seconds
is the cooling
time required
to re-
move any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door

or touch
STOP/CLEAR
pad.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food,
the display
switches
over to the remaining
cooking
time and the timer counts
down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened
to stir food,
turn it or season, etc.
When
the timer
reaches
zero, an audible
signal
sounds.
The shut-off
relay and cook
relay are
de-energized
and
the
power
transformer,
oven
lamp, etc. are turned off,
Opening
the door or touching
the STOP/CLEAR
pad, the time of day will
reappear on the display
and the oven will revert to an OFF condition.
COMPU
COOK
COMPU
COOK will
automatically
compute
the oven
temperature,
microwave
power
and cooking
time for
baking, roasting
and broiling.
Set the
desired
program
by touching
the
COMPU
COOK pad, and number pad.
Enter the weight
by touching
the Number pads
When the START pad is touched,
the following
oper-
ations occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The COOK indicator
will
light and the Convection
Fan Symbol will rotate.
The cooking
time will
appear on the display
and
start counting
down to zero.
The cooking
time
is adjusted
automatically
ac-
cording
to the weight
of the food.
The shut-off
relays (RY2, RY3, RY4 and RY5) are
energized,
turning
on the
oven
lamp,
turntable
motor,
cooling
fan motor
and convection
motor.
The power
supply
voltage
is added
to the con-
vection
heater.
Now, the oven is in the convection
cooking
mode.
When the oven temperature
has reached
the pro-
grammed
convection
temperature,
the oven goes
into the programmed
cooking
mode.
At the end of the COMPU
COOK cycle, the damper
is returned
to the open position
and the oven will
go to the off condition.
The cooling
fan will
remain on until the oven has
cooled.
EASY DEFROST
COOKING
The EASY DEFROST
key is a special function
key to
defrost meats and poultry
faster and better.
EASY DEFROST key has 4 defrost stages.
EASY DEFROST automatically
defrosts roast beef, etc.
When EASY DEFROST is selected and the food weight
is entered
by using
the number
pads, the oven
will
cook according
to the special cooking
sequence.
