SETTING THE Microwave oven

SENSOR COOKING

Electrolux’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 level for various foods and quantities.

Using Sensor Cooking:

1.After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Cooking settings.

2.Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3.The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, rice would be at room temperature.

4.Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 18.

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 Cooking, food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or press 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, press the STOP/clear pad and cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. 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. Follow the instructions.

8.Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9.INSTANT SENSOR and SENSOR REHEAT can only be entered within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the door or pressing the STOP/clear pad.

10.Each food has a cooking hint. Press user pref pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the food charts.

1.Casserole lid.

2.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.

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 pressing the sensor cook pad and the food number. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

•Suppose you want to cook ground meat.

StepPress

1.Press sensor cook pad, number 2 for ground meat.

2.Press START/enter pad.

When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear.
