6 - 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:
• After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
SENSOR COOKING.
• 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.
• The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
• Any SENSOR COOKING selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 19.
• More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
• During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, 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.
• 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.
• Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking. If
food is not completely cooked, enter additional cooking
time manually. Do not press Sensor Cook again as food
may overcook.
• Each food has a cooking hint. Touch SETUP/HELP 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 COOKING chart for these
foods.
• Casserole lid.
• Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) to remain uncovered
to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch
food.
• 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.
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.
1. Touch REHEAT pad.
2. Touch START.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the remainder of cooking time will appear.
NOTE:
The FRESH VEGETABLES and POULTRY settings have 2
choices. Follow directions in the Interactive Display to
choose desired option.
