COOK
The oven sets the cooking time and power level for a specific
food category. To Use Cook:
1. Touch COOK.
2. Select food type , see guide.
3. Enter weight in ounces.
4. Touch START.
NOTE: To display the food type and remaining cooking
time, touch the COOK pad.
SENSOR COOKING FEATURES
(JVM MODELS ONLY)
Note: Don't use metal shelf with Sensor
Cooking.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the sensor assisted cooking codes, the foods are
cooked without calculating time, power level or quantity.
When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays
the information to the 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 increases
gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set accord-
ing to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experi-
ment with each food category and entered into the micropro-
cessor. An example of how the sensor works: (POTATOES)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
2. Heated potatoes. Moisture and humidity are emitted
rapidly.
3. The sensor detects the moisture and humidity and calcu-
lates cooking time and variable power.
SENSOR COOKING PREFERENCE CONTROL
When using the sensor assisted cooking codes, except for
CANNED VEG and FROZEN VEG, it is possible to adjust the
oven cooking time by 10%.
To Use Sensor Cooking Preference Control:
- By immediately touching the number I pad after touching a
sensor assisted pad the oven will turn off 10% sooner.
- By pressing the number 9 pad after touching a sensor
assisted pad the oven will cook 10% longer.
BEVERAGE
This instant on pad reheats beverages by sensing the
steam with the sensor system.
NOTE: Maximum heating time is 4: 00, preference
control not available on beverage pad.
