StARt
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 Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
SENSOR.
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 selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
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 SENSOR, the food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or
touch StOP/ClEAR during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error message will appear. To
continue cooking, touch the StOP/ClEAR pad and
cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping 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. Touch hElP MENU
pad when the hELp indicator is lighted in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the SENSOR chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow ap-
proximately 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.
EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food
and touching StARt. You don’t need to calculate
cooking time or power level.
