Sensor Settings
Viking's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (mois-
ture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts
the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities.
• After the Microwave Hood is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using any sensor setting.
• Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the
Microwave Hood 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 30.
• 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 Microwave Hood 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 Built-in Micro-
wave Hood may be opened when the remaining 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 time of day will be
displayed. 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 Help pad when the HELP
indicator is lighted in the display.
