Sensor Cook - Amana P1323201M Service Manual

Programming Instructions for MVH350
Sensor Operating Instructions
Sensor cook allows cooking of favorite foods without
selecting cooking times and power levels. The display
will indicate "SENSING" during the initial sensing period.
The oven automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal sensor
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the
food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The
display will show the remaining heating time. For best
results for cooking by sensor, follow these
recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. Glass Tray/(TURNTABLE) and outside of container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or press the STOP/CLEAR pad
during the sensing time. When sensing time is over,
the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking
time will appear in the display window. At this time
you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the
food.
Sensor Cooking Guide
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them
with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount of the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
Adding or Subtracting Cooking Time
If the SENSOR function is too long or too short, you can
increase or decrease the cook time by 10% after
choosing the function. You can only increase or
decrease cook time before cooking starts.
1. Press COOK pad.
