SENSOR COOKING
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 the 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. REHEAT and POPCORN can only be used within 1 minute
after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching
the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or
touch the 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 select cooking
time and variable power.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the 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.
5. Check the temperature of the food after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable
power and time.
6. 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 using sensor reheat, ERROR will be
displayed, and the oven will turn off.
7. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the TIMER/SET-
TINGS pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
SELECTING FOODS:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage tempera-
ture. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be
at refrigerator temperature and popcorn would be at room
temperature.
2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated
by time and variable power.
COVERING FOODS:
Some foods work best when covered. See ABOUT UTEN-
SILS AND COVERINGS on page 8 for recommendations.
• Use plastic wrap only if it is recommended for microwave
cooking. To use, cover the dish loosely, allowing approxi-
mately 1 / 2 " (13 mm) to remain uncovered to allow steam
to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
• To use wax paper, cover the dish completely, folding
excess wrap under the dish to secure. If the dish is wider
than the wax paper, overlap two pieces by at least 1"
(25 mm) to cover.
• Always allow steam to escape away from your face and
hands when removing covering.
REHEAT
You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You
don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.
• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili:
Touch the
REHEAT pad.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the remainder of reheating time will appear.
POPCORN
• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz bag of popcorn:
Touch the
POPCORN pad once, then touch the START/+30
SEC pad.
This sensor setting works well with most brands of microwave
popcorn. Pop only one bag at a time. Unfold the bag and
place in the oven according to directions.
