Sensor Modes

The 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 level for various foods and
quantities.
Using Sensor Modes:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Modes.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container
and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off
any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Modes selection can be
programmed with More or less time adjustment.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of any sensor cooking or
reheating, SENSING will appear on the display.
Do not open the oven door during this part of
the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be
interrupted. If this occurs, an error message
will appear. To continue cooking, press the
CANCEL pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted
from the food, remainder of cooking time will
appear. Door may be opened when remaining
cooking time appears on the display. At this
time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
7. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not
detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods, ERROR will be displayed.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the food charts.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not
touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold 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.
Sensor Cook
You can cook many foods by touching the sensor
cook pad and the food number. You don't need to
calculate cooking time or power level.
• Suppose you want to cook baked potato.
Step
1. Press MICRO OVEN
2. Press sensor cook
3. Press 2 for baked potato
4. Press START
NOTES
1. The final result will vary according to the food
condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape,
user pref
quality). Check food for temperature after
heating. If additional time is needed, continue
to heat manually.
2. Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is
no chance of overcooking food.
3. Sensor Cook can be programmed with More
or less time adjustment.
