Auto Sensor Cook and Reheat Programmes for 6666
This feature allows you to cook or reheat sixteen foods automatically. There is no need to enter the weight, as these programmes use a humidity
sensor which will automatically select the correct Microwave power level and calculate the correct cooking time.
How it works
The Auto Sensor programmes take the guesswork out of cooking. Once the food has been selected and the start pad pressed the food is heated
up. As food begins to get hot, steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to cook, an even greater amount of
steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected by a humidity sensor in the oven. This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate
how much longer the food needs to cook. The remaining cooking time will appear in the display window after 2 bleeps.
Whilst the Sensor programme is still in the display window the oven door SHOULD NOT BE OPENED. Wait until the cooking time appears in the
window, and then open the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
• Select the desired Auto Sensor programme,
by pressing the pad. The pad can be
pressed once or twice to select one of the
two programmes available.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results the Sensor programmes should only be used when the oven is cold. It is recommended that the oven is
allowed to cool between using the sensor programmes, if one or more programmes are being used (see note below). If in
a hurry, cook the food manually i.e. select the correct power level and cooking time. It is not recommended to keep using
the Auto Programmes consecutively.
N.B. When attempting to use a Sensor programme "HOT may appear in the display window. Do not press Stop/Cancel
when this appears, as a fan automatically operates to cool the oven. This fan will cool the oven within 10-15 minutes, as
long as "HOT" is left in the display window, otherwise cooling may take longer.
Adjust to Taste
The Sensor programmes cook foods for
average tastes. You are able to adjust the
cooking programmes to your own taste by
pressing the MORE/LESS pad.
• Press Start. The food category will be
repeated in the display window until the oven
calculates the cooking time after detecting a
burst of steam. DO NOT open the oven door
until the remaining cooking time appears in
the display window.
After selecting the Sensor programme, but
BEFORE pressing START. The oven will
automatically cook the food 10% More or
10% Less.
