SENSOR SETTINGS

Hestan's 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 levels for various foods and

quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

• After the Drawer Microwave is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting.
• Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Drawer Microwave are dry.

Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at

room temperature.

• Any sensor selection can be programmed with MORE OR LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT. See

page 21.

• More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines

in any microwave cookbook.

• During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the

Drawer Microwave or touch

STOP/CLEAR

during this part of the 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, the remainder of cooking/reheating

time will appear. The Drawer Microwave may be opened when the remaining time appears on the

display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

• Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,

ERROR

will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.

• Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
• Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the

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 charts for these foods. You

may refer to the hints by touching the

SETUP/HELP

pad. See page 21.

• Casserole lid.
• Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow

approximately 1/2 inch 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.
