Sensor Cooking - Frigidaire 16495056 Use & Care Manual

SENSOR COOKING

Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor 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 automatically.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
Sensor Settings.
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 tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any Sensor Settings selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 21.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any micro-
wave cookbook.
6. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will
appear in the display. Do not open the oven door or press
the STOP clear pad 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 STOP clear 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 in the
display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as
desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when pop-
ping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time
of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect
vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will
be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Press the user pref 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
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.
